Does anyone have access to the wills for Decatur County, that would be willing to do a look up?
Rev. Frederick Lyman Provan died in 1937 and is buried in Garden Grove Cemetery in Decatur County. He is buried next to his 2nd wife Cora E. last name unknown. Frederick was a Presbyterian minister and was born 26 June 1881 in New Brunswick, Canada and immigrated to the US in 1887 and was naturalized in 1902.
In the 1930 census he is listed as living in Henry County, IA with his wife Cora and Marjory S. Provan, a daughter by his first wife Almena McDermot (who died in KS in 1917) and was taken back to ME for burial. Frederick had a total of 6 children by his first wife: Ruth (b. abt 1908), Emelie (b. abt 1910), John (b. 19 Oct 1911), Marjory (b. 20 May 1913), Newell (b. abt 1915) and Harriett (b. abt 1917).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am more than willing to pay the cost associated with this request.
Thank you,
Denise Smiley
