In re JESSIE LOUISE PIPPY.      DECEASED.

I, Jessie Louise Pippy, of St. John's, Newfoundland, widow of the late William G. Pippy, hereby revoke all former wills and testamentary dispositions made by me, and declare that this is my last Will and Testament.

I also bequeath to my said son Ernest Roy machinery used in the said business to the value of five hundred dollars to be selected by him. I bequeath to my said son Ernest Roy the sum of one thousand dollars out of the book debts due the said business at the time of my death, and the further sum of one thousand out of my general estate.
  3. My said son Ernest Roy shall hold the said business subject to the provision that he pay to my daughter Rita Isabel out of the income of the said business the sum of three hundred dollars yearly until she marries.

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.
