Estate of Mercer County man benefits children
Gary Lloyd Croy who died in 2006 directed his sister Imogene Farley to sell his farm and personal property and donate proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis Tennessee. Farley finalized the sale on Greasy Ridge Road Princeton and prepared a check for 44440169 for St. Jude. Croy, 62, had a varied career and loved farming monuments, and he supported St. Jude because they do not turn away any child.
