Sources
- Reports John L. (Mickey) Malloy’s August 16 death in Milwaukee, two days after open-heart surgery, and August 19 funeral services in Western Springs, Illinois. It identifies his 1917 Manistique birth, Beaver Island summer residence from the mid-1960s, ownership of Christ Building Materials in Barrington, wife and two children, and island-connected funeral attendees. It does not provide a civil death record or establish whether this is the same John L. Malloy who signed the March 1974 tax protest.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1974-08_Beaver-Beacon

- Corrects the prior month’s obituary by identifying Msgr. Victor Gallagher and Fr. Bernard Scheid, described as Malloy’s cousins, as the officiants rather than Fr.
