This is the last will and Testament of me Mary Byrne O'Mara, of St. John's in the Island of Newfoundland, widow and I hereby revoke all former wills and Testamentary dispositions made by me.

I will and direct that my executrix shall look after and take care of my son at present in the Lunatic Asylum, St. John's, during his lifetime, and at his death to see that he is buried in a proper and fitting manner. Certified Correct. (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. |
