Summary
The Charlevoix Transit Company is named in the December 1970 obituary as one of John Roen’s interests, with headquarters in Boston.
Evidence and limits
The held account does not state whether Roen founded, owned, operated, or only invested in the company. It supplies no formation date, officers, fleet, or corporate records, so the article is deliberately titled and linked as a Roen interest rather than as a company founded by him.
