Summary
Roy L. Provancher was born in Chicago on May 12, 1882, worked most of his life as a certified public accountant in Oak Park, and lived on Beaver Island for the last six years of his life. The July 1971 Beaver Beacon reports his death in Petoskey on July 16 and a later graveside service at Holy Cross Cemetery.
Evidence and limits
The obituary gives his birth and death dates, residence history, occupation, spouse, children, and cremation arrangement. The burial is recorded as a separate event because the report places it on August 1; no crematory record, plot, or independent cemetery register is held here.
