I, Sarah Elizabeth King, being of sound and disposing mind and memory 
do make this my last will and testament, revoking all former wills.

1st, I wish my executors as soon as possible after my death to pay all 
my just debts should there be any.

2nd, I desire that my estate shall remain undivided until after the 
death of my husband, William Alexander King, and the same from my 
estate shall be distributed as follows:  one third of the same shall go 
to my husband, William Alexander King, one third to my son John William 
King, and one third to Grace Gertrude King, my daughter.

3rd, After the death of my husband, William Alexander King, my estate 
shall be divided as follows:  Two hundred dollars shall be paid to my 
son Robert Herbert King, two hundred dollars to my son in law, Walter 
Davis for money they have furnished in helping educate the children.  
The above four hundred dollars is to be taken from my whole estate and 
paid first.  After this is paid, I do hereby will and bequeath to my 
son John William King one third of my estate, and to my daughter Grace 
Gertrude King one third of my estate.  The remaining third I do hereby 
will and bequeath to my sons, James Edgar King, Paul Jones King and 
Robert Herbert King, my daughters Annie Lee Davis and Elizabeth Dickson 
Sherrill, all these sharing equally.

4th, I desire that my personal property be divided equally among all my 
heirs.

5th, I hereby appoint James Edgar King, Robert Herbert King, and John 
William King, my sons, as executors to my will.  I empower them to 
dispose of my estate by selling some either at private or public sale, 
as may seem best to all parties interested, and I relieve them from 
giving any bond and require them by this will, to probate the will in 
common form, also they are relieved from making any returns of their 
acts and doings to any Court whatever.

In witness whereof, I hereby affix my hand and seal this 15th day of May 
nineteen hundred eighteen.

                                        Sarah Elizabeth King (seal)

Delivered, published and sealed by Sarah Elizabeth King as her last 
will and testament in the presence of the undersigned as witnesses she 
first signing in our presence and in the presence of each other.  This 
15th day of May, nineteen hundred and eighteen.
