Random Ephemera: Doctor’s Estate Mysteriously Willed to Secretary

In 1951, Dr. Roy Campbell committed suicide in his office at 814 1/2 S. Alvarado, Los Angeles.

Dr. Campbell’s will, which was never found, apparently left $100,000 not to his wife, Mrs. Iva or Eva Campbell, 55, but to Ondine Kifer, 35, his secretary.

Dr. Campbell supposedly had written it by hand on a sheet of yellow legal paper. A tenant of the Alvarado building, Mrs. Mintia Schiller, claimed that she had witnessed Dr. Campbell sign it.
