Will of William Kenny In re William Kenny deceased In the name of God Amen. This is the last will and testament of me, William Kenny of St. John's, in the Island of Newfoundland, Master Cooper. I hereby revoke all former wills and testamentaary dispositions that may have been by me hitherto made, and declare this to be my last will and testament. I hereby appoint my wife, Clara Kenny, to be the executrix of this my last will and testament.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal at St. John's
aforesaid this day of May A.D. 1913. Mr. William Kenny [LS]
Signed by the said testator as and for his last will and testament
in the presence of us, who in his presence, and in the presence of
each other, and at his request, have hereunto subscribed our names
as witnesses:- Correct Charles H. Emerson (Listed in the margin next to this will the following)

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. |
