County upbringing shapes Homer Croys early life
Amos Croy and wife settled on a Missouri farm where Homer was born and raised. Sundays meant church and steer weighing. The Croys attended the Omaha Exposition, Homer left for New York after high school and college, landed a cub job at Theodore Dreiser's magazine, and his first novel Boone Stop was accepted with minimal royalties. Phebe, long-time housekeeper to his father since his mother's death, was set to marry his father.
