Judge Erskine Maiden Trust
Youngstown State University Tuesday received $450,000 from the trust fund of Youngstown native and long-time Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge Erskine Maiden Jr. Oct. 18 is a significant date because Maiden, who died in August 1967, stipulated that the trust, established at the Youngstown Foundation, not be turned over to the university until 20 years after the death of his surviving wife, Irene Butler. She died Oct. 18, 1991.
