Farm and Home Foundation Gets Estate Fund Release
The Farm and Home Foundation will receive $50,000 from the Willis Esbenshade Estate Fund after Judge John L. Bowman ruled in favor of the charitable foundation. Attorney William H. Mann said Esbenshade arranged with Mayor Thomas Monaghan to match two gifts of $25,000 each, enabling the release. If no descent is filed within 20 days, the funds should reach the foundation soon.
