Description
In the year 1900 Abelina Garcia, then a widow, lived with her infant daughter, Margarita Garcia, in the Village of Laborcita in Socorro County, New Mexico. At the same time, Benigna Nunez de Papa, a sister of Abelina Garcia, was living with her husband, Emilio Papa, in Socorro County, New Mexico. The marriage produced no children. An agreement was entered into between Abelina Garcia and Emilio Papa and his wife to take the infant daughter Margarita Garcia into the Papa home, raise her as their own daughter and at their death Margarita was to receive their property. Margarita grew to womanhood in the Papa home. In 1935 Benigna Nunez de Papa died intestate. In 1947 Emilio Papa died intestate. On February 25, 1947, a probate proceeding was initiated in Socorro County by Stephen Q. Garst by the filing of a petition in which he sought his own appointment as administrator of the estate of Emilio Papa, deceased. The petition disclosed that Victor Papa, aged 65 years, a resident of Magdalena in Socorro County, New Mexico, to be a cousin of the decedent and his only known heir. Victor Papa recommended the appointment of Stephen Q. Garst.
