A Collection of Newfoundland Wills
(F)
William Ford

 

Will of William Ford from Newfoundland will books volume 14 page 93 probate year 1927

In re
      WILLIAM FORD.       DECEASED.

Fords Harbour, Pauls Island.
October 14th 1926.

This is my last will and wish, I, William Ford, leave and bequeath all my estate and property, Houses, Stages, Hunting, Fishing and Sealing gear whatsoever, in fact all my possessions here at Fords Harbour and elsewhere, to my son Alder Ford. He, Alder, is to be my sole heir, and I desire him to step into my place when I shall die, and to live and work in the place of his father, grandfather and great grandfather.- My son Alder is to take the greatest care of his grandmother, while she lives. He is also to care for and look after his cousins: James and George Ford. They are to work under his guidance until they may shall be more than 20 years of age. If at that time they want to leave, my wish is that he may not keep them back.- Little Edward Wild I leave entirely to Alder, who is to teach him to work and take great care of him until he is 21 years of age.-      To Lea Ford, my wife since May 10th 1926, I leave nothing whatsoever, because of her untruthfulness and because of her whole behavior toward me, ever since our marriage. But if Alder ever has a few Dollars to spare, I do not object to him paying her a small amount of money, but not exceeding one hundred dollars - and not any more afterwards. Lea may return to her own people. (Which sum is to be paid if she is at any time in particular need)
Signed by me this 14th day of October in the year of our Lord 1926.
WILLIAM FORD.
Witnessed: P. Hettasck.
