Minta Durfee Arbuckle, widow of Roscoe Arbuckle on the day she appeared in court in a dispute over her mother's estate. Minta Arbuckle, 57, agreed that because she wished to preserve the memory of the late film comic, she would try to settle the estate dispute out of court. Superior Judge Newcomb Condee thereupon contined the matter of her disputed accounting for one year. Mrs. Durfee died in June of 1949 leaving a home valued at $5000 and $250 worth of personal property to her daughter and a son, Paul, in equal shares. But Averill Cowert, a granddaughter, successfully petioned she be declared heir to one third of the estate and objected to Mrs. Arbuckle's accounting.
