Action In Kidder Case Withdrawn Over Probate Dispute
Attorneys for Joseph K Kidder and his daughter Freida withdrew objections to the probate of the late Mrs D L Kidder's will in Janesville. Judge H S Fox was told uncertified financials show no estate assets to pay heirs. The case is moot as T B Gantenbein may cover taxes and admin expenses, enabling him to take over the Pyroil business. Joseph Kidder helped form Pyroil in 1928 with his late brother W W Kidder.
