Mother Discloses Tie to Name in Ancient Firstborn Case
A Mason City court heard a dramatic case over Oliver Lee Devendorf, thought heir to the estate of My and Mrs. J. K. Devendorf. Oliver, born out of wedlock in Decorah, was raised by the Devendors after being placed with the Iowa Education Association. His mother, who had not seen him since 1894, appeared in court to confirm the boy’s parentage and surrender, seeking to correct past misjudgments and secure rightful inheritance. An Eldora brother challenged the will, arguing Oliver's status as heir. The case hinges on the mother's full surrender of her child and the legality of the will determining Oliver's claim. The testimony exposed long-hidden family ties and the stakes of a late-life revelation.
