THURSDAY,
Fire Claims Late
Comedienne's Kin
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPI)
Four members of the late
comedienne Joan Davis family
her mother, daughter and
two grandsons were killed
today when fire swept their
home.
The victims were Nina Davis,
72, Mrs. Beverly Colbert, 29,
and Mrs. Colbert's two sons by
a former marriage, Guy Gross
man, 7, and Larry, 4.
Neighbors were awakened
shortly after midnight when
windows in the modest home
began "popping" out under
pressure built up by the inter
nal fire.
Firemen controlled the blaze
and found the four bodies all in
the master bedroom where the
fire apparently originated. In
vestigators said the blaze may
have been started by a smol
dering cigarette. Flames were
contained in the structure until
the windows exploded outward
from the heat.
Mrs. Colbert's husband, Mar
tin, was in Los Angeles at the
time of the accident.
Miss Davis died at Palm
Springs May 23, 1961 of a heart
attack. The comedienne left her
million dollar estate to a for
mer husband in a will made 20
years earlier. But in a court
battle over the estate Mrs. Col
bert was awarded the bulk of
it and the former husband, Si
Willis, received a package set
tlement of $52,000, including
cash and a Palm Springs home.
