ITEM 5		I hereby invest my executor with the power to keep all of
the real estate of which I might die seized and possessed together and

from said real estate for the purpose of paying off any encumbrances that
may be upon any part or parcel of said real estate at the time of my death.

ITEM 6		I hereby give to my executor the right and power to sell

advantageous to the estate to do so and this he may do at either private 
or public sale and this he may do without order of any court.

certain sums of money for which I have given him my notes, it is my will
and desire that he be paid the sums so advanced by him as soon as is
practicable.

ITEM 8		I hereby direct that if any of my children shall be indebted
to each other at the time of my death that my executor withhold the
distribution to such child or his or her share of my estate until such
indebtedness be paid in full.

this my last will and testament, and I relieve him from making any inventory
of my property or appraisement or from giving any bond and I further relieve
him from making any return of his acts and doings to any court whatever,
