State of Georgia    }
Glynn County        }  M. William J. Sallens, Edward H. Manoe, Toby Brown and 
Aaron Hill, were present on the twenty ninth day of July in the year of our 
Lord Eighteen hundred and seventy six, at the residence of Harriet R. Myers, a 
widow woman, before and at the time of her death, about five days before her 
death but during her last illness, in perfect possession of her mental 
faculties, as appeared to us, said Harriet R. Myers called upon the by 
standers, and upon the undersigned in particular, to remember take notice of 
what she was about to say; when she said that it had been her intention for 
some time past to make her will in writing, thereby to dispose of her property, 
but had neglected to carry her intentions into execution, and that now it was 
not practicable.

That she wished us to understand that her Will and desire was, that Dempsey P. 
Myers, her son and Hattie M. Myers her youngest daughter, should have, take and 
possess all her personal Estate, of any kind and description to their own 
proper use, benefit and behoof for ever, to be shared between the said Dempsey 
P. Myers and Hattie M. Myers share and share alike in equal proportions, except 
one cow and calf, which she desired and directed to be given to Adaline Myers, 
the daughter of Charlotte Myers.  That she had given to her other children, as 
they had married off, all the property that she desired them to have from her 
Estate, except the said Dempsey P. Myers to whom she had never given his 
proportional part of the Estate upon his marriage.  That he had taken care of 
her and his sister the said Hattie M. Myers, and had been kind to them in the 
past, and that she desired that he would continue to take care and protect the 
said Hattie M. Myers until her death or marriage.  That they would continue to 
live together upon the old homestead unless it prove to their advantage to 
remove elsewhere.

And she desired her friend Edward H. Manoe to see that her wishes and desires, 
in this regard were carried out fully.

Five days after which, and during the same illness, she died this August 23rd 
1876.
