In re
    FREDERICK. GEORGE CHISLETT.     DECEASED.

This is the last Will and testament of me, Frederick George Chislett, of St. John's, Newfoundland, Marble Worker.

1. I hereby revoke all testamentary instruments heretofore made by me.
2. I appoint my wife, Irene Chislett (as long as she remains my widow), and my son, Bruce Chislett, to be the Executors and Trustees of this my will, with sole power to my son to act after the death or remarriage of my said wife, except for the purposes, property and effects of my business hereinafter mentioned, for which purposes, property and effects I appoint my said son sole Executor and Trustee hereof.
3. I devise and bequeath my immovable property, consisting of my house and premises at Sudbury, Water Street West, together with the furniture and furnishings contained therein and thereon unto my Trustees upon the following trusts:
   (a) That my Trustees shall permit my said wife to have the use and enjoyment thereof until her death or remarriage (whichever shall first occur), she, during that time, and at her own expense, keeping the same in good repair and insured, provided that she may lease the same during that period, or any portion thereof, if both my Executors assent thereto.
   (b) That after the death or remarriage of my said wife (whichever shall first occur), my surviving Trustee shall sell, call in and convert into money the said house and premises, and divide the same in equal shares among my children, Bruce, Irene, Harold, Mildred, Hunter, Edith, Kenneth, Pauline, and Freddie, or such of them as are living at that time, provided that the first reasonable opportunity to purchase such house and premises shall be given among my said children.
   ( c) Further to the above, in the event of both my Trustees agreeing thereto, my said house and premises may be sold during the lifetime of my widow, and the proceeds divided equally among my wife and such of my children as shall be alive at the date of sale.
4. I devise and bequeath unto my said son Bruce the goodwill of my business of Marble Worker at present carried on by me at St. John's, and I declare that this gift shall include all goods manufactured and unmanfactured, and all stock-in-trade, machinery, plant and effects belonging to me in connection with or used for the purposes fo the said business, and the benefit of all leases and contracts subsisting in relation thereto at my death, and also all book debts which shall be owing to me in connection with the said business, and any securities for money, cash or money at the bank to the credit of my business account, and my said son shall take over and discharge all my liabilities in connection with my said business existing at my death and shall indemnify my estate against the same.
5. My said son shall hold my said business under the same name as at present constituted, subject to the following trusts and provisions;
   (a) My said son shall pay one-half of the net annual income of the said business (ascertained after payment of outgoings) to my wife for a period of Ten (10 years from my death, provided that she shall remain my widow.
   (b) From and after the said period of Ten (10) years my said son shall during the remainder of her life pay one-quarter of such net annual income to my wife provided that she shall remain my widow.
   ( c) In the event of the death or remarriage of my wife before the expiration of the period of ten (10) years referred to hereinbefore, my said son Bruce shall apply the said one-half of the net annual income of the business (previously payable to my wife) for the support, maintenance and education of the rest of my children in such manner as he shall think fit. If such sum is more than sufficient for such needs and purposes, he shall place the balance in a trust fund at a savings bank in this city, or invest the same in securities (properly allowable under the Trustee Act) the whole to be realized and divided among such of my children as shall be alive on the twenty-first birthday of the youngest then living, or as near thereto as possible.
   (d) In the event of the death or remarriage of my wife either before or after the said period of ten (10) years, but before all my children have attained the age of twenty-one years, the said one-quarter share of the net annual profits (previously payable to my wife from ten (10) years after my death) shall be applied by my said son Bruce for the support, maintenance and education of the rest of my children in such manner as he shall think fit for a period ending with the twenty-first birthday of the youngest then living. If such sum is more than sufficient for such needs, he shall place the balance during that period in a savings bank in this city, or invest the same in securities (properly allowable under the Trustee Act), the whole to be realized and divided among such of my children as shall be alive at the said twenty-first birthday of the youngest then living, or as near thereto as possible.
   (e) In the event of my said business proving unsuccessful within the periods provided for in ( c) and (d) of this paragraph, the same may be sold in a manner best suited to the realization of the proper value thereof by my son Bruce, and the net proceeds divided equally among my wife if she shall remain my widow, and such of my children as are alive at the date of the sale.
   (f) Subject as aforesaid, my said son shall be entitled to the said business and to the income thereof for his absolute use and benefit.
6. In the event of there being any necessity for the appointment of a legal guardian to any of my children until he, she or they reach majority, it is my desire (but not so as to bind my said son) that my son Bruce obtain such appointment.
7. Subject to the payment of my debts and funeral and testamentary expenses, I devise and bequeath the residue of my estate unto my Trustees to convert the same into money and pay the same to my son Bruce to provide additional capital for my said business, the same then becoming subject to the trusts and provisions expressed in paragraph five (5) of this my will.

In WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand this 3^rd day of November December A.D. 1927.
