of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this my last 
will and testament, in words as follows:-

hereby give and bequeath to my said wife Nancy Harmon, including all of my real 
and personal property of every description whatever with full power to sell and 
dispose of the same in any manner whatever that she may see fit to do, upon the 
condition that if my wife shall die intestate then all of the property that she 
may own or be possessed of, whether real estate or personal property, remaining 
of my estate or proceeds of my estate herein bequeathed and given to her, of 
whatever form or manner of property it may be in  at the time of her death, 
shall be equally divided into four parts among the following named persons:

Harmon as trustree, without bond, for my deceased son's daughter Gussie Harmon, 
if the said Gussie Harmon be then alive, said amount, or so much of it as he 
may deem necessary to be used or expended in the support of the said Gussie 
Harmon remaining unexpended in the hands of the said R. L. Harmon as such 
Trustee shall be delivered by him to my daughter Annie Ham, the wife of B. A. 
Ham, to be received by the said Annie Ham in some measure of compensation for 
caring for and raising the said Gussie.
	Third:-  It is my wish and desire that my said wife Nancy Harmon shall 
consult and advise with our son R. L. Harmon about and concerning all contracts 
that she may desire to make, and in all things concerning the management or 
disposition of any part of my said estate herein bequeathed to her, and that in 
all such matters she act upon and be governed by his advice.
