Summary
Robert J. “Holiday” McDonough (1918–1991) was a Beaver Island-born member of the McDonough family who lived with his wife, Charlotte Martin McDonough, in Grand Rapids in the 1960s. Local notices identify the couple as parents of at least fifteen children, including an unnamed son born January 25, 1960.
Evidence and limits
The distinctive “Holiday” nickname and the repeated pairing with Charlotte link the newspaper notices to the cemetery’s Robert J. McDonough entry. The record does not infer exact birth or death days from its year-only cemetery dates.
