Summary
Peggy Malloy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Malloy of Dolton, Illinois, married Charles Caffey on September 28, 1974. The December Beaver Beacon also reports that a car struck her as she left the reception, fracturing her femur and leading to hospitalization in Chicago Heights.
Evidence and limits
The source identifies Peggy through her parents and the wedding notice, but does not provide a full civil identity, marriage certificate, medical record, or confirmed recovery date. The hospital room number is not repeated here. Her father’s name and town — “Lawrence Malloy” of Dolton, Illinois — match the son of that name and town named in J. Lawrence Malloy’s 1970 obituary, making Peggy a probable granddaughter of J. Lawrence Malloy, though no source ties the two notices together directly.
Open questions
- Is Peggy’s father, Lawrence Malloy of Dolton, Illinois, the same Lawrence J. “Babe” Malloy named as J. Lawrence Malloy’s son?
