Summary
The October 2002 Beaver Beacon’s “Forty Years Ago” section describes Patrick McDonough and Jennifer Scane’s August 24 wedding at Beaver Island’s Episcopal Church, followed by a Lodge dinner and a Brothers’ Place dancing reception with Island musicians and bagpipes. The year 1962 is inferred from the section’s forty-year label.
Evidence limits
This is a later retrospective rather than the original wedding notice or a marriage record; the exact year is therefore marked probable.
