State of Georgia County of Glynn

IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, the undersigned, Mrs. Matilda E. 
Roberts of the City of Brunswick, said County and State, being of sound and 
disposing mind and memory, recognizing the uncertainty of the things of this 
life and the certainty of death and the life to come, and desiring to make 
disposition of my estate while I have the strength so to do, I do hereby make, 
declare and publish this to be my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and 
annulling any and all will or wills that may heretofore have been made by me.

Item I.  I desire my executors hereinafter appointed to pay any indebtedness I 
may leave at the time of my death, including funeral expenses, my name, etc., 
to be placed on the monument that is by my husband’s grave.  Eric will attend 
to that; he knows my wishes.  My soul I commit to God who gave it, trusting in 
his infinite mercy and goodness, and looking for the resurrection and the life 
in the world to come.

Item 2.  As soon as possible after my death, it is my wish and desire that my 
executors shall reduce to cash my estate that may be left by me, to be 
disposed of as hereinafter stated, to say:  The little house which is located 
on the southwest corner of the lot and premises where I now reside at the date 
of the making of this will shall be sold by my executors, and the fund derived 
from the sale of this house (only the house, the land belongs to Medora 
Brockinton) shall form a part and corpus of my estate.  The lot of land upon 
which is located the residence in which I now reside is the right and property 
of my daughter, Mrs. Medora E. Brockinton, and the land is Dora’s, one quarter 
of the lot.

Item 3.  It is my will and desire that all my personal effects (except such 
articles as I shall give a list of to my daughter, and my wishes concerning 
such articles), such as household furniture, and the like, not including 
money, shall go to and be received by said daughter, Mrs. Medora E. Brockinton.

Item 4.  The corpus of my estate constitutes the collection of a mortgage 
given to me by my son, E.Y. Roberts, which said mortgage is secured by certain 
property belonging to my son, said E.Y. Roberts, which property is located in 
the Old Town of the City of Brunswick, and on Gloucester Street, at the corner 
of Lee Street, City of Brunswick, and which said note and mortgage is in the 
sum of Eighteen Hundred Dollars ($1800.00) for principal.  It is my wish and 
desire that my executors shall not collect or require the said E.Y. Roberts to 
pay any interest on the said mortgage due prior to the 1st day of January, 
1918.  After said date my said son, E.Y. Roberts, will account for the 
interest on said loan.  He has paid me some interest on the said loan, and he 
will continue to do so, I giving him receipts for such interest as he may pay 
me from time to time hereafter and before this will becomes operative.  
However, as stated, I do not desire my executors to require him to account to 
my estate for any interest prior to said January 1st, 1918.  My son Harry S. 
Roberts is indebted to me in the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars 
($250.00).  It is my wish and desire that my executors do not exact any 
interest from said son Harry S. Roberts for said loan of $250.00, but that 
Eric shall receive one-third of $250.00 more than Harry when the estate money 
is divided, and also that Dora receive one-third more than Harry.  He is not 
entitled to any more than Eric and Dora.

Item 5.  It is my wish and desire that my grandson, Bonnell Roberts, be paid 
out of my estate in question, after the payment of funeral expenses, and other 
indebtedness that may be left by me, if any, the sum of $50.00 in cash.  The 
$60.00 which I have heretofore sent to him to discharge some obligation owed 
by him in Tampa, Fla. shall not be exacted of him, the said Bonnell Roberts, 
but I give that to him, and in addition thereto my executors will pay to him 
the said sum of $50.00 in cash.  I also desire that my said executors shall 
likewise pay to my said daughter, Medora E. Brockinton, the sum of Fifty 
Dollars ($50.00) in cash, as a slight remembrance of her love, care, and 
tender ministration for an to me during my residence with her, and tender 
solicitude and nursing of me during my illness from time to time.

Item 6.  Whatever cash may be left by me at the time of my death, and when the 
mortgage referred to for $1800.00 due to me by my said son E.Y. Roberts, has 
been collected and reduced to cash, which same will make an estate of 
$1800.00, principal of said mortgage, about $200.00 cash in the Glynn County 
Bank, and one $50.00 Liberty Bond, making $2050.00, and after payment of the 
said bequests herein referred to, and all debts, it is my will and desire that 
the said fund shall be divided into three equal parts, one of which shall go 
to and be used by my said son Harry S. Roberts, or to his heirs, executors and 
administrators, except that from his part shall be taken Two-thirds (2/3) of 
$250.00, which like amount shall be added to E.Y. Roberts’ third, and also a 
like amount to Mrs. Medora E. Brockinton’s third.  Another third interest of 
said estate and fund shall go to and be received by my said son E.Y. Roberts, 
his heirs, executors and administrators.  The other third interest or share in 
said estate shall go to and be received by my said daughter, Mrs. Medora E. 
Brockinton, her heirs, executors and administrators.

Item 7.  I hereby name, constitute and appoint my son-in-law Samuel A. 
Brockinton and my said son E.Y. Roberts executors of this my last will.  My 
said executors need not be required to give bond for the faithful execution 
and performance of the trust herein imposed.  I know that they will carry out 
the terms of my will with fidelity upon their part; nor need the said 
executors make any return of their actings and doings in the premises.  All 
that is necessary for them to do is to qualify under the will and execute the 
terms thereof.  Should either of the said executors die before this will 
becomes effective, or should either of them fail or refuse to qualify, then 
and in that event the other of them is directed and expected to qualify 
hereunder, and carry out the terms hereof, with all powers given to them by 
law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and seal on this the 12th day 
of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen (1919).
