Summary

The August 1974 Beaver Beacon corrects the officiants named in Norman Gallagher’s prior obituary and prints the family’s thanks for Masses, sympathy, food, and funeral assistance.

Evidence and limits

The source is a follow-up correction and acknowledgment. The underlying obituary is not held here, so the record does not assert a death date, funeral date, burial place, or identity bridge to the separately recorded Norman Gallagher Boat Company share notice.

Sources

Beaver Beacon, August 1974, “Correction” and “Thank You.”
Corrects Norman Gallagher’s prior obituary by saying Msgr. Victor Gallagher and Fr. Bernard Scheid, identified as Norman’s cousins, officiated rather than Fr. Graf, and prints the family’s thanks for Masses, sympathy, donated food, and funeral assistance. The underlying July obituary and funeral details are not held in the current archive batch, so no death date, burial place, or complete family record is inferred.
