Found After Death in Butte Father Left Will to Daughter
Mrs. David Timothy and her husband of 1705 Second Avenue traveled to Butte to claim property believed left by her father, known as Old Davy Evans. Evans, a bricklayer who went west to seek wealth, reportedly willed two houses on Utah Street to Elizabeth Timothy. The family’s search spanned 27 years and involved letters, advertisements, and the discovery of possible fraud in the will. Lawyers expect several lawsuits as heirs contest the estate, with details of the romantic, long-lost family tale shaping the investigation.
