testament.

is to be taken by my executors from my estate and divided in two equal shares
of two hundred and fifty dollars each between my two daughters Lily
Mary Stone and Mabel
Gladys Stone, which two amounts my executors will hold in trust for
my said two daughters
Lily Mary and Mabel Gladys for their general
interest and welfare, they my said executors having the right to expend any
portion of these said shares for the welfare and advancement in life of my
said daughters Lily Mary and

for my son Harold John, for his upbringing and education,
so that as far as possible he may have those advantages in life which an education
is calculated to yield.

this my will is his unreservedly, held in trust by my executors for his general

be in distress or difficulty at any time during which the money is held in
trust for my son Harold John that they my executors are hereby

comes of age.
