Huntley will leaves farm land to WSU

Whitman County land in the Thornton area which was farmed by the late Sen. Elmer (Bud) Huntley and wife, Necia, has been donated to Washington State University. Transfer of the land was recorded in a transfer affidavit filed July 12 in the county treasurer's office.

The land was transferred by Patrick Gill and Necia Monroe Leach, a nephew and niece of the Huntleys who are personal representatives of Mrs. Huntley's estate.

Proceeds from the land will go into the Elmer C. and Necia Huntley Endowed Scholarship fund for assistance to deserving athletes.
