3. I give devise and bequeath to my dear wife for her life-time all my estate real and personal; that is to say: my dwelling house situate on the North side of Maxe Street in the town of Saint John's and all that belongs to me contained in the said house; also any money that I may own at my decease and also all my other property of whatsoever nature and kind and wheresoever situate including my property situate at Blackhead, Bay de Verde. My said wife may in her sole discretion realize any or all of the properties hereinbefore bequeathed to her for life, and expend the proceeds of the same as she may deem fit, but any such monies unexpended by her at her decease shall continue to belong to my estate.
4. After the death of my said wife I direct that all my estate be converted into cash, and that the process be divided into seven equal shares. Two shares I give, devise and bequeath to my son Charles H. Butt two shares I give devise and bequeath to my son William H. Butt; two shares I give devise and bequeath to my son Walter F. Butt.
