State of Georgia, County of Glynn

I, Edna L. Gowen, of the county of Glynn and State of Georgia, being of sound 
mind and disposing memory, and having in mind to make disposition of such 
estate as, in the Good Province 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 writings of a testamentary 
character whatever that I heretofore may have made.

Item I
I desire that all of my just debts shall be paid.

Item II
I give, devise and bequeath in trust unto the National Bank of Brunswick, a 
banking corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America 
with its principal office in Glynn County, Georgia, on bond of the principal 
amount of $1,000.00 of the 10 year 6% Gold Bonds due January 1, 1938, of the 
Central States Utilities Corporation, and two shares of the six per cent 
preferred stock of Central Telephone Company (being the bond and stock 
received by me from my father’s estate), for the following uses and trust 
specifically, to-wit:

(a) The said Trustee shall hold such property during the life of my beloved 
sister, Stella M. Latimer, of Fayette county, Iowa, and shall pay to her at 
regular intervals all of the income derived therefrom with full power to the 
said Trustee in its discretion to dispose of and sell the same, either at 
public or private sale, and reinvest the proceeds of the same, as may seem 
advisable from time to time, and upon the payment or call of the securities to 
invest the proceeds in like manner at its discretion, without obtaining any 
order or authority from any tribunal or court, but as fully in all respects , 
in accordance with the trust hereby created, as I could myself do were I in 
life seized or possessed of the same; with the further power and authority in 
the said Trustee, in its discretion from time to time, and without obtaining 
authority from any court or tribunal, to use any part or all of the corpus for 
the comfort and welfare of my said sister, should it determine that she be in 
need or want; and my said Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or 
make any report to any court or tribunal;

(b) Upon the death of my said sister, the residue and remainder of said 
property shall be equally divided and distributed among my three children, 
Charles L. Gowen, George W. Gowen, and Gladys Gowen Fendig, share and share 
alike, provided however that children of deceased children shall stand in the 
place of their deceased parents per stirpes and not per capita.

Item II
Both my beloved husband and myself desiring that our children have homes of 
their own, I hereby give, devise and bequeath all 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 
unto my beloved children, Charles L. Gowen, George W. Gowen and Gladys Gowen 
Fendig, share and share alike, providing however that children of deceased 
children shall stand in the place of their deceased parents per stirpes and 
not per capita, with the hope that they will see fit to use the same as a 
nucleus for that purpose, in the event that they have not acquired homes 
previous to my death.

Item IV
I nominate, constitute and appoint my husband, Clarence B. Gowen and my son, 
Charles L. Gowen, executors of this my last will and testament.

Item V
My executors as hereinbefore nominated and appointed shall not be required to 
give any bond, and shall not be required to report to or make any returns 
whatever to any court, tribunal or officer, but they shall have full and ample 
and free power to deal with all and any part of my estate, and mortgage, 
encumber, sell or dispose of the same at their pleasure, at public or private 
sale, and as they may see fit from time to time, without necessity for 
obtaining any order or authority from any court or tribunal, but as fully and 
to the same extend in all respects that I could myself do were I in life 
seized or possessed of the same.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this the 
16th day of February, A.D. 1932

Edna Latimer Gowen {L.S.}

Signed, sealed and published and declared as her last will and testament by 
her, the said Edna L. Gowen, in the presence of us, the undersigned, who after 
execution by her sign our names hereto as subscribing witnesses at her 
request, in her presence, and in the presence of each other.
