Summary
On May 8, 1971, Holy Cross Church held a Requiem Mass for Elizabeth Gallagher, who had died in January after leaving Beaver Island for Green Bay. The April–May Beaver Beacon reports that she was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery.
Evidence and limits
This report resolves the January obituary’s intended burial into a newspaper-attested completed burial. It still does not provide Elizabeth’s exact death date, a cemetery plot, or independent civil and church records.
