Gift to Princeton Shrinks Estate Value Talk
Executors of William Mowray of Salem and Trot West of Princeton say the estate of Isaac Wyman may be worth $4,000,000 to $8,000,000 but true value uncertain. They note Princeton University stands to receive a substantial portion, with trustees already owning $1,000,000 for a graduate school. The final total of the Wyman estate will determine whether funds could finance a building to meet needs.
