In 1951, Edgar Le Roy Bryant, Clara Ford's brother served notice that he would file a claim against the estate of Clara Ford based on the contention that Clara had promised she would leave her possessions to his family. The suit, asking for $10 million or more, proceeded until March 1955, when it was settled out of court for a relatively small amount of cash. From the description of Edgar L.
