Summary

Leo McDonough died in North Las Vegas on September 30, 1972, after a series of strokes. The notice says he was born on Beaver Island on August 16, 1903, on a farm that later became the island golf course.

Evidence and limits

The report preserves the family and property connection but does not establish the farm’s deed history, a cemetery, or a complete McDonough genealogy.
