Georgia, Emanuel County

     I, W.W. Clark, of said State and county, being of 
sound and disposing mind and memory, do make this my last 
will and testament, hereby revoking and annulling all others, 
by me heretofore made.

Item one.

     I desire and direct that my body be buried in a Christian 
like manner, suitable to my circumstances and condition in 
life.

Item two.

     I desire and direct that all my just debts be paid without 
unnecessary delay, by my executor hereinafter named and 
appointed.

Item three.

     It is my desire and will that my executor shall, out of 
funds belonging to my estate, pay and distribute, before 
calculating the value of the distributive shares, to each 
of my children and the children of my deceased daughter 
or my children that may hereafter die, an equal share in 
the following fund or account: My beloved wife died, 
leaving a small estate of personalty and of this estate, 
it not having been administered upon, I sold and now have 
the proceeds from the sale of a one hundred dollar Liberty 
Bond, bearing four per cent interest per annum, and the sum 
of $25.00 collected from Rowan Johnson upon annote owing 
her. This rightly and justly belong to my said children and 
grandchildren.

Item four.

     I give, bequeath and devise to my children and the 
survivors of my deceased daughter, Maggie King, all of my estate, 
in equal parts, share and share alike, except that my son, 
James K.H. Clark shall receive only $500.00, and the children 
of my said deceased daughter, towit: Ira King, Clyde King and 
Orian King, shall take per stirpes in lieu of their deceased 
mother. And the child or children of any of my other children 
who may hereafter die shall take per strpes in lieu of their 
deceased parent.
     I estimate that the distributive shares of my said estate 
shall be in excess of $500.00 each, but I only give my said son, 
James K.H. Clark, the sum of $500.00 because I consider that I 
have heretofore made suitable provision for him. Further it is 
my desire and intention that each of my children to whom I have 
made loans, and which loans were intended to be repaid, shall 
be repaid to my estate before they can receive their 
distributive share.

Item five.

     I hereby name and appoint my son, C.A. Clark, testamentary 
guardian or trustee of the estate or share to be received by my 
grandchildren, towit: Ira King, Clyde King and Orian King, 
children of my deceased daughter, Maggie King, and said guardian 
shall receive, account for and handle the funds and property I 
have given my said grandchildren as is provided by law in the 
case of testamentary guardians, including the giving of bond and 
making returns, but he is exempted from obtaining the order of 
any court as to investing, selling or reinvesting their said 
estate, it being my purpose that said guardian shall invest, 
sell and handle said estate as he deems best and proper in the 
interest of said minors. Further, I desire and will that said 
guardian shall keep said estate intact and he shall only use the 
income therefrom until said children reach the age of twenty one 
and as each child reaches the age of twenty one said guardian shall 
pay over and settle with such child for his or her pro rate share.
     Further, I make this provision and appoint said guardian for 
said children because their father, in my judgment, is wasteful 
and is not the proper person to have and handle their said estate.

Item six.

     It is my desire and will that my executor shall sell the real 
and personal property belong to my estate, and convert it into cash 
as early as practicable and make distribution as I have provided 
herein. 

Item seven.

     I hereby constitute and appoint my son, C.A. Clark, the sole 
executor of this my last will and testament, and I expressly confer 
upon him power, as such, to administer my estate, excusing him from 
giving any bond, or making any returns to the ordinary, and I 
expressly confer him the full authority and power to sell any part 
or all of my estate at public or private sale, with or without notice, 
as he may deem best, and without any order of court, making good and 
sufficient conveyances to the purchaser and holding the proceeds 
to make distribution and payments as hereinbefore declared in the 
several items of this my will.

This 15th day of October, 1927.

W W Clark

     The foregoing instrument was signed, sealed, declared, and 
published by W.W. Clark, as his last will and testament, in the 
presence of us, the undersigned, who, at his special instance and 
request, do attest as witnesses, after said testator had signed 
his name thereto, and in his presence, and in the presence of 
each other.

This 15th day of October, 1927.
