Selma Ruth Ekelund died on September 4, 1972 and her obituary appears on Sept 7, page 6A. She was buried in City Cemetery by Broadway Funeral Home and there were no known survivors. She died at her residence in Oleander Homes, so I doubt there is much of an "estate", but could check county courthouse for probate.
