Court rules Davidge estate left to stepdaughter under contract
The Circuit Court held a valid contract between the late Robert Davidge and his stepdaughter Mrs. Roberta Baumgardner to convey real estate upon his death. Trustees were named to transfer properties in Frederick with 16 houses and several street lots, and costs framed as part of the estate valued around $25,600. The June 20 1929 will integrates the oral agreement, while a 1929 will favored Mrs. Mannix. The court cited multiple testimonies and the stepdaughter’s long servitude and support as factors in proving the contract and its terms.
