Will of Elizabeth O. Colquitt
Wife of James H. Colquitt

Georgia	]
Floyd County	]

			I, Elizabeth O. Colquitt of said state
And county being of sound and disposing mind and memory, but
Mindful of the uncertainty of human life, do make this my last
will and testament, revoking all others heretofore made.
Item First:  I desire that my body shall be properly buried
And that all my just debts be paid.
Item Second:  I give and bequeath to my nephew and nieces to-
Wit- Larkin Barnett, Emma Barnett, Jessie Barnett and Bessie 
Barnett, who are the children of my brother Charles K. Barnett
deceased, all my property both real and personal which I may
die possessed of, share and share alike.
Item Third:  I hereby make constitute and appoint my brother
Daniel W. Barnett the executor of this my last will and testament,
and authorize and direct him to give to each of the legatees mentioned
in the second item of this will their share of the property therein
bequeathed when each legatee shall arrive at the age of twenty one
years, or before that time if my executor sees proper to do so.   In case
he should turn over to any of the said legatees their share while still
minors, the minor receiving his or her share is authorized to
give a full and clear receipt to said executor and the same shall
be as full acquittance  to said executor as if the minor had arrived
at majority.
I clothe my said executor with power to use the income of the
share of each legatee, or so much as may be necessary, for his
or her maintainance and education: also with power in his discretion
to use a part or all of the corpus of each share for the same purpose.
I hereby authorize and empower my said executor to sell at private 
or public sale, without order from any court, any or all the property
herein bequeathed and to reinvest at his discretion, and to have the
same powers as to the reinvestment.  In no case is a purchaser required
to see the application of the purchase money.
In execution of this will I hereto set my hand and seal this
25th day of April A.D. 1891.
				E. O. Colquitt  (L.S.)
The above and foregoing, signed, sealed and declared to be her
last will and testament by Elizabeth O. Colquitt the testatrix
in our presence, who in her presence, at her special request,
and in the presence of each other subscribe our names as attesting
witnesses.
