     In the name of God, Amen. Being in bad health and knowing moreover
     that life at best is uncertain, I have thought it best to make
     evoke a disposition of my property to take effect at my death.
     (1) I give and bequeath to my mother, Mrs. Margaret Boyd, all my
     property both real and personal, to have and enjoy for and during
     her life.
     If she finds it necessary to use up or dispose of any part of the
     corfers of the personal property, she may do so; and the remainer
     interest in the personal after her death shall extend to only such
     part of the same as may be left undisposed of by her.
     (2) At the death of my mother, I desire my land sold by my executor
     - the five acres off the Watkin's lot to be sold at a different
     time from the others - the proceeds to be disposed of as follows:
     (3) I want a monument put over my mother's and father's graves and
     over my brother's (W. L. E. Boyd) grave, and one over mine, and a
     wire fence around the family burial ground. I want the proceeds of
     the five acres to be appropriated towards my grave.
     (4) I give & bequeath my brother Dr. J. Y. Boyd, one fourth the net
     proceeds of the land, after taking out the expenditures on account
     of item three.
     Out of this one fourth are to be deducted what my brother owes me
     on some notes I hold against him, unless he shall sooner pay off
     the same.
     (5) I give and bequeath to my sister, Mrs. Elzia Linch, one fourth
     of the net proceeds of the land after taking out the expenditures
     to be made as per item three.
     (6) The rest and residue of my estate I will and bequeath to the
     children of Mrs. Mollie Rhodes born and to be born.
     (7) I have not given the children of my brother W. L. E. Boyd
     anything for the reason that I have already paid out to him and on
     his account as much as I would have given him, and he expected
     nothing on that account from me.
     (8) I appoint my uncle Leander B. Watkins my executor. I revoke all
     former wills.
     (9) Witness my hand and seal
     A. J. Boyd (LS)
     Signed, sealed, declared and published by the testator as her last
     will and testament in the presence of us; and signed and witnessed
     by us at her request in her presence and that of each other. She
     being of sound mind and disposing mind and memory.
