Whatever books and furniture I possess to be divided between my three children Edward, Annie and Frank, and to be divided as they think best each to have an equal share.
A mortgage on Kents property to be taken and managed by my son Edward as he thinks best the amount is about $325 more or less as my books will show, he has authorized me to sell the property and pay myself as yet I have not decided, but think possibly that my son Edward may be inclined to buy later, that is if he considered it was to his advantage to do so.

Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are hand-written copies of a, "last will and testament," written by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor.

We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be.
