Romantic Alaska Story in Fight Over Estate
A new will allegedly made by the late John M. Keith seven days before his April 1914 death is filed in superior court. Louise Thomson of Los Angeles, who claims she is Keith’s daughter, is bequeathed the entire $631000 estate minus $5 to any claimants with no interest. Executrix is Dr. Sarah Tedford of Los Angeles, sister in law to Mrs. Thomson. Objections to distribution arise from Mrs. Thomson and Haven of California regents, who say Keith pledged $150000 to the university but paid only $5000, with no provision for the balance.
