     disposing memory, and knowing the shortness of life and the
     certainty of death and desiring to make a disposition of the

     therefore make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking and
     annulling all others heretofore made by me.
     
     1. I commit my soul to the God who gave it as I hope for salvation
     through the merits and atonements of the blessed Lord and Savior
     Jesus Christ.
     2. I desire that my body be buried in a Christian like manner,
     suitable to my circumstances and condition in life.
     3. I direct that all my debts, if any there be at the time of my
     death be paid as early as practicable by my executrix herein after
     named.
     4. I give and bequeath to my grandchildren, Elias Williams, Thomas
     B. Williams and Ralph Williams a certain house and lot on the east
     side of Cuthbert street where they and their mother now reside, and

     5. I five and bequeath to my beloved wife, Sarah r. Williams all
     other property both real and personal, including money, notes, and

     H. Williams share and share alike-provided whoever each and
     everyone of them shall be charged up with all advances that I may
     make, or my said wife after my death shall make to them, or that I
     may have charged up to them at the time of my death. Provided
     further that no charges shall be held against any of my said
     children in the division of my estate prior to the date except
     $1000 not payable to the First National Bank of Blakely given by
     John H. Williams, and signed by me as surety.
     7. Not withstanding the bequest of items 5 and 6 in this my last

     and I direct that my said wife shall manage my estate as she may
     live, ever looking the interest of the beneficiaries of this will.

     estate to my said children or any one of these, or not-to exceed

     9. I constitute and appoint my beloved wife Sarah R. Williams my
     executrix of this my last will, and she shall not be required to
     give bond, neither shall she be required to secure or obtain an
     order from any court to sell any part of my estate, should she
     desire to do so-neither she be required to make returns of my
     estate to any court.
     10. The property mentioned in item 4 shall not be divided until the
