WILL OF HARMON MOCK, SR 
Dated April 30, 1872 Recorded 10 May 1872
DECATUR CO., GA


     We, John A. Boyce, Mary J. Boyce, Peter Mock were present 
Tuesday morning the thirtieth of April, Eighteen hundred and 
seventy two at the residence and dwelling house of HARMON MOCK, 
SR in said County in which house, the said Harmon Mock, Sr. lived 
for several years next before his death. And during his last 
sickness, and about four days before his death, while in the perfect 
possession of his mental faculties, as appeared to us. 

The said, HARMON MOCK, SR called upon the bystanders and upon the 
undersigned more particularly, to remember and take notice of what 
he was about to say, when he said he was not able to make a written 
will and did not know how soon he might drop off and while he was in 
his senses, he had better tell us what he desired to be done with his 
property. He said he wanted us to understand that his will and desire 
was that he wanted his debts paid and then he wanted his property to 
be equally divided among his heirs, and Sarah Parrott, as an heir, the 
said Sarah Parrott to have an heirs part in lieu of all that he might 
be indebted to her as her guardian or on account of having been her 
guardian which he said was about sixty dollars. He also desired that 
in addition to an heirs part, the said Sarah Parrott should have a 
spring bedstead and bed complete, one side saddle and an outfit of 
clothing to be paid for out of his estate. He desired the share of his 
estate going to the orphan children of Chesley Mock, deceased, to be 
turned over to a suitable Guardian of said children for their use. And 
he desired and requested his son Harmon Mock, JR might see that his will 
and desire might be carried out as his executor in this regard. 
Immediately after making the above statement, the said Harmon Mock, 
Sr. became silent and fell into an apparent sleep and died on the 5th 
day of May 1872 about four days thereafter. This 10th day of May 1872.
