Summary

Patrick H. “Earl” Malloy (1904–1975) was born on Beaver Island on July 15, 1904, a son of Patrick J. “Paddy” Malloy. He later worked as a building contractor in Pontiac, Michigan, and lived in Waterford Township, where he died on March 10, 1975.

Evidence and limits

The April 1975 Beaver Beacon obituary is the only held source for this record. It names his wife, Bertha M.; three sons (John P., Bruce J., and Hubert E.); two married daughters; four sisters; and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it places his funeral and burial in Pontiac rather than on Beaver Island. No held source identifies “Patrick J. ‘Paddy’ Malloy” elsewhere in the corpus or connects this Malloy family to the other Malloy lines documented in this archive (those of J. Lawrence Malloy or John P. “Buffalo” Malloy); the relationship, if any, is not established.

Open questions

  • Is Patrick J. “Paddy” Malloy related to the other Malloy family lines documented from Beaver Island?
