County, Georgia:

Georgia - Coweta County - In the name of God Amen.

I, ANN THOMPSON, of said state and county being of advanced age and knowing
that I must shortly depart from this world deem it right and proper both as
respects myself and family that I should make a disposition of the property
with which a Kind Providence has blessed me, I therefore make this my last
will and testament hereby revoking & annulling all others heretofore made by
me.

Item 1st - I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent and
Chrisian like manner suitable to my circumstances and conditions. My soul I
trust shall return to rest with God who gave it as I hope for Eternal
Salvation through the blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

delay by my executor herein after named as I am unwilling that my creditors
should be delayed of their just rights especially as there is no necessity
for delay.

about thirty years of age.

man JIM about fifty years of age.
