Samuel Krupkin, an obscure druggist, who lived in a small one-room apartment near his store, bequeathed the major portion of his estate amounting to more than $175, 000 to the Jewish National Fund, it was reported here today by the Sentinel, English-Jewish publication.
According to the terms of Mr. Krupkin’s will, the JNF was to receive two-thirds of the remainder of his estate after bequests amounting to $26, 000 had been paid to various charities. The value of that portion of the estate left to the JNF has been estimated to total more than $100, 000 and may possibly amount to more than $140, 000. Mr. Krupkin, who was brought to this country when he was a young child, had no known relatives at the time of his death.
