State of Georgia    }
County of Glynn   }

In the name of God; Amen.  I Mary Elizabeth Hall, a resident of said county 
for very many years, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and 
desiring to dispose of my property, real, personal and mixed, during my life, 
but to take affect after my death, the more particularly as I have certain 
heirs at law, not devisees herein but nevertheless all of whom are well 
remembered, and now disclosed to wit, my sons Charles Crowder and John Crowder—
the first of whom I have not heard from in the last ten years, and really do 
not know whether he is living or dead; and my grand sons Hugh Burford 
Flanders, Monroe Flanders and Willie Flanders, the children of my daughter 
Alice Flanders—nee Crowder—now deceased, who intermarried with Theodore 
Flanders, an my said grand children born of said marriage, and no other heirs 
at law whatsoever, do now make this my last will and testament, hereby 
revoking and annulling all other wills which may have been previously made.

Item I.  I desire and direct, that my body be buried in a decent and 
christianlike manner, suitable to my circumstances and condition in life.

Item II.  I desire and direct that all my just debts be paid without 
unnecessary delay, by my executors herein after nominated and appointed.

Item III.  I give and bequeath and devise, to my son John Crowder, who now 
resides in Columbus, Georgia, and my grand son Hugh Burford Flanders, now 
residing in Brunswick, Georgia—with me—, all the property real personal and 
mixed, of which I die seized and possessed, or to which I am entitled or in 
any way interested, share and share alike; to say one half thereof, to John 
Crowder, and the other half to said Hugh Burford Flanders, for ever in fee 
simple.

Item IV.  I hereby nominate and appoint as executors, of this my last will and 
testament, my son John Crowder, and my grand son Hugh Burford Flanders, and I 
expressly confer upon them, on in case only one qualifies as executors, then 
upon him so qualifying, full power to administer my estate.  Excusing my said 
executors from giving any bond, or making any returns of their actings and 
doings as such executors to the ordinary, or any court; and likewise excuse 
them from making any appraisement of my estate or any part thereof, and I 
expressly confer upon my said executors, full power and authority to sell my 
said estate or any part thereof, at public or private sale, which same rest in 
the discretion of my said executors, with or without notice, as they may 
elect, and without any order of court obtained for that purpose; and as such 
executors to make good and sufficient deed of conveyance, conveying said 
property so sold to the purchaser thereof; and I likewise confer upon my said 
executors, full power in their discretion to borrow money upon said estate, 
and secure the same by mortgage thereon, for the use of said estate, when ever 
in their discretion, they deem it conducive to the interest of said estate.

Item 5.  In order that my reasons for so devising said estate, to my son John 
Crowder, and my grand son Hugh Burford Flanders exclusively, regardless of my 
other heirs at law, may be fully understood, my reasons are here and now 
stated.

During all my latter years, the said John Crowder and the said Hugh Burford 
Flanders, have been unusually attentive to me and did all in their power, each 
according to his ability, to make my declining years peaceful and happy, and 
to contribute to all my needs, and because by that conduct, they have endeared 
themselves to me in every way, and hence my desire for them to have all my 
property at my death, as my only legatees; and not because of any ill feeling 
against any other heirs for apparent neglect.  This May 23rd A.D. 1922.
