Sources
- Reports William Jerome McDonough’s February 26 christening and names Jack Cull of Chicago and Jean Wogan as godparents. The scan’s small type is difficult on the woman’s surname; the remote OCR reads Wogan, so that form is retained pending a parish record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1961-03_Beaver-Beacon
- The held six-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1961-03_Beaver-Beacon
