Summary
Martin Arthur “Big Art” Larsen died on June 3, 1964, according to the Beaver Beacon. The obituary says he died at Little Traverse Hospital after a year’s illness; the accompanying profile says he was buried after June 6 services. A July card of thanks records the family’s acknowledgment of community assistance after the death.
Evidence and limits
The source establishes the reported death date and funeral context but does not provide a civil death certificate, cause of death, or a held record for the burial place. The separate biography preserves the cemetery wording without turning it into a mapped cemetery assertion.
