I, John J. Conoley, originally of Wilmington, in the State of North Carolina, but now residing at Brunswick, in Glynn County, Georgia, being of sound mind and disposing memory, and having in mind to make disposition of such estate as, in the Good Providence of God, may be vested in me at the time of my death, do make, publish and declare this my last will and testament, hereby specifically revoking and annulling any and all former writings of a testamentary character whatever which I may have made heretofore. Item I: It is my desire that all of my just debts shall be paid, including ordinary funeral expenses for my self without unnecessary cost or display. Item II: I hereby give, devise and bequeath all of the rest and residue of the property real and personal, remainders, reversions, interests, claims and demands whatsoever that I may have, own or possess at the time of my death equally share and share alike to my two beloved daughters, to-wit: Miss Ethel Conoley and Miss Kezzie F. Conoley in defeasible fee with remainder over as hereinafter provided, and subject to the charge named and provided in Item V hereof. Item III: The shares devised as above to my said daughters, Miss Ethel Conoley and Miss Kezzie F. Conoley, shall be theirs respectively during their lives, and at their death, should they, or either of them die without leaving children surviving, the portion of her share then unconsumed shall pass to my other named daughter, to be held by her under the same terms and conditions as the respective legacies are hereby devised and bequeathed; and should my said daughters, or either of them leave a child or children at death, then such child or children shall stand in the place of the parent, taking however absolutely and in fee simple the property which would have gone to the parent in defeasible fee were the parent in life. Such taking by the child or children shall however still be subject to the charge named and provided in item V hereof. Item IV: The shares of property herein given and devised to my said two daughters shall during the time that they hold the same be theirs respectively to use and consume both as to principal and usufruct for their own comfort and pleasure, and to that end they shall respectively have the right to sell the same and thereby pass to the purchaser by form of deed, will, sale or otherwise, or indirectly in any other manner whatsoever, to dispose of any of the same as a gift or in any other manner than for a fair market value received; the amount of such purchase price I leave to their discretion respectively, and not as a burden upon the purchaser of the property, impressing upon my said daughters hereby that this is a personal trust that I hereby impose upon and place in them. Item V: Of all the dividends, rents, issues and profits that may arise from time to time from what may remain unconsumed of my estate in accordance with the foregoing provisions, one-third shall be paid over to my beloved wife, Mrs. Kezziah Fanning Conoley, for so long as she may live and remain a widow and no longer, to be hers absolutely and without limitation, and this same is made a charge upon the property remaining in the hands of my said two daughters respectively from time to time, without curtailing or limiting their right of disposition as hereinbefore given. Item VI: All of the unconsumed portion of my said estate that may remain at the death of my said two daughters, should they both die without leaving child or children surviving them, I hereby give, devise and bequeath, share and share alike, to my brother C.H. Conoley, if he be still in life, and if not to his descendants, and to the descendants of my deceased brother A.G. Conoley, in two shares, the children of deceased parents taking per stirpes in lieu and stead of their parents, and not per capita. Item VII: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint the aforesaid Miss Ethel Conoely and Miss Kezzie F. Conoley executrixes of this my last will and testament. Item VIII: My executrixes as hereinbefore constituted and appointed shall not be required to give any bond, nor report to or make any returns whatever to any court, tribunal or officer; but they shall have full, ample and free power to deal with all and any part of my said estate, and mortgage, encumber, sell or dispose of the same at public or private sale and as they may see fit and proper from time to time, without necessity for obtaining any order or authority therefore from any court or tribunal, but as fully and to the same extent in all respects that I could myself do were I in life seized and possessed of the same. In witness of all which I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal on this 8th day of May 1930. J.J. Conoley {LS} Signed, sealed, published and declared as his last will and testament by him, the said John J.
