Mrs. Helen Woodward Nunn complained to the court that she had not been advised nor did she agree with the right of administration being given to Ada L. Way. Mrs. Way had taken possession of the homestead, rented it, sold the fruit growing on the property and exercised all rights of owner over the real estate. Mrs. Nunn had lived in the homestead for more than twelve years, and it had burned a few days after the death of Ora. She wanted the money and or property currently in the administratrix's hands. She complained again in a letter to the Judge in Jan. 1913 that she demanded that "this business of mine settled up as soon as possible". The Administratrix had a full year in which to settle the estate, but did provide an accounting to the court about two weeks later. The balance available was $50, after expenses were paid out for burial expenses, tombstone, coat and hat for Mrs. Woodward, and probate fees. No mention is made of the seven acres of land given in the original inventory of the estate in May 1912. Further research in Land Records needed.[12]
