Division of Higgins Estate Divides Missoula Heirs
The Higgins estate, once the largest in Montana court history, was finally divided among the heirs after years of complex claims. Administrator Ka Scharnikow, appointed in 1892, oversaw the decree following a friendly suit by Hilda H. Conley against Arthur Higgins and others. The settlement includes property in the business district and South Missoula, with the original Higgins home on Higgins Avenue remaining in the estate. C. P. Higgins, Missoula’s founder, left an undivided vast property collection once renowned in the city.
