I, H. C. McCall, do make and publish this as my Last Will and Testament, hereby 
revoking and making void all other wills by me at any time made.

First:  I direct that my personal expenses and all my debts be paid as soon 
after my death as possible out of any monies that I may be possessed of and 
first come to the hands of the Executor.

Second:  I give and bequeath to my wife Lizzie T. McCall in Trust during 
widowhood all my real and personal estate wherever situated, except the sum of 
Twenty-five hundred dollars hereinafter disposed of subject to the uses and 
purposes hereinafter declared and set forth with full power and authority and 
power to collect debts, compromise debts and extend the time of payment and 
invest any money by her collected and in short, do anything in the management 
of my Estate that I could do, always excepting the contracting of new debts, 
which if contracted by her, shall in no case be binding on my Estate, and 
thereby confer upon my wife, as trustee, full power and authority to sell any 
portion or all of my real Estate, under the advise and approval of my brother, 
D. T. McCall, so long as he may live, and after his death, at her own 
discretion; and to reinvest proceeds in real or personal property, subject to 
the approval of my said brother during his life time, and after his death at 
her own discretion; ad I do further empower and authorize and direct my wife, 
as Trustee during her widowhood, to collect use and appropriate the rents, 
profits and income of any real and personal property to the support and 
maintenance of herself and our son, Samuel T. McCall, and the power 
hereinbefore conferred upon my said wife shall remain in full force and virtue 
during her widowhood.  Should she marry again, then it is my will and I do 
hereby so direct that her control and authority over my Estate, both real and 
personal, cease and determine.  And my Estate be divided between her and my 
said son, Samuel T. McCall, according to the laws governing such cases, now in 
force in the State of Alabama.  And the portion allotted to my said son, I 
devise and direct to bet paid to his guardian to be appointed and qualified by 
the proper Court.

In case of the death of our said son, Samuel T. McCall, it is my will that my

nearest relative under the laws now in force in the state of Alabama.  And in 
the case of the said son without issue after the death of his mother, it is my 
will and I do so direct that my Estate go to the parties above named.

It is my will and I so direct, that in case the money is collected or paid, 
secured by a policy on y life in the N. U. Equitable Life Insurance Company, 
that sum of Twenty-five hundred dollars to be paid to E. O. Tate in trust for 
the benefit and use of Mrs. Carrie Tate, wife of E. O. Tate, and I direct that 
interest on said sum be paid annually to Mrs. Carrie Tate, during her life, and 
at her death, that said sum to be paid to her daughter, Hattie, or her 
guardian; and in case said daughter should die before her mother, it is my will 
and I so direct, that said fund be paid to Mrs. Carrie Tate, as her own, 
separate and absolute estate.  IT is also my will and I so direct that no bond 
be required of my wife, as Trustee under this will.

Lastly:  I hereby nominate and appoint my wife, Lizzie T. McCall, Executrix of 
this my will, and I direct by reason of confidence I repose in her that no bond 
be required of her as such Executrix, and that she be excused from returning to 
the Court an Inventory of my Estate.

of December 1879.
