Georgia Glynn County

I, Ellen D. Nightingale, of Glynn County, Georgia, of sound and disposing mind 
and memory, make and declare this writing to be my last will and testament, 
hereby revoking any and all other wills heretofore made by me.

Item I.  I desire that all of my just debts be paid as soon after my death as 
this may be done without embarrassment to my estate.

Item II.  I desire that all of my property, real and personal, be distributed 
equally among my six children, namely, Frances N. Nightingale, of New York 
City; William Nightingale, of Jacksonville, Florida; Elizabeth Nightingale 
Rhett, of New York City; Nathaniel G. Nightingale, of Brunswick, Georgia; 
Hazlehurst Nightingale Woodriff, of Orange County, Virginia; and Douglas 
Nightingale of Brunswick, Georgia.  In the event any of my said children 
should predecease me, and should leave child or children surviving them who 
are in life at my death, such child or children shall take the part of my 
estate to which their deceased parent would have been entitled.  But if any of 
my said children should predecease me and leave no child or children, or if 
any child or children so left by any deceased child should die before this 
will takes effect, then the part of such deceased child shall go to my 
remaining children.

Item III.  I designate and appoint Douglas Nightingale, of Brunswick, Georgia, 
as executor of this will.  I name him because I regard his residence in 
Brunswick as more fixed and certain than that of my sons, William and 
Nathaniel.  My said executor is relieved from giving bond and making any 
inventory or appraisement except such as may be mandatory under the law.  I 
also relieve him from making any return or report of any kind to any court or 
other tribunal.

Item IV.  I will append to my will a memorandum showing certain articles of 
jewelry and the like which I desire to be given to those designated thereon.  
I direct my executor to make the distribution of the articles listed as shown 
by the memorandum attached.

Item V.  Realizing that it may be necessary for a sale of my property to be 
made in order to enable my executor to make a distribution of my estate, I 
hereby authorize and empower my executor to make a sale of my real property, 
as well as of any personal property which it may be deemed wise to sell, upon 
such terms and condition and for such considerations as he may deem best; 
provided that a majority of my children then in life shall approve such sale 
or sales.  By this provision I mean to say that my executor shall be 
authorized to sell all or any part of my property, at private sale, upon terms 
and conditions and for considerations satisfactory to him and a majority of my 
children living at the time, and that it shall not be necessary to take into 
account the rights of any minor beneficiaries in order to make a valid sale 
hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this March 21, 1923.

Ellen D. Nightingale
