Kansas brothers fund aid for area children through oil wealth
In Emporia Kansas a trust created by two oil and cattle brothers uses rising land values and oil profits to aid children in Lyon Coffey and Osage counties. The fund, growing from 8 million in 1974 to about 15 million today, pays medical needs and educational grants while encouraging some student contributions. Since 1961 the trust has issued thousands of grants to hundreds of children, with parks funded to spend the windfall and ongoing questions about future uses.
