Source: Will Of Mrs. R.e. Davison
Written: August 8, 1934

Georgia, Greene County.
     I, Mrs. R.E. Davison, of said county, being of sound and disposing mind 
and memory, do make, sign and seal this my last will and testament, revoking 
any others heretofore made by me:
     Item 1. I direct that my just debts be paid as soon after my death as 
possible, consistent with the interest of my estate.
     Item 2. I give, will, devise and bequeath to my daughter, Annie Davison, 
all my stocks and bonds of which I die possessed, and all my furniture, 
silverware, dishes, and such-like personal property in my home in Woodville, 
Ga., where I now live.
     Item 3. I give, will, devise and bequeath all the rest and residue of my 
estate and property, of whatever sort and nature, remaining after the devise 
in item 2 above, equally and share and share alike, and in fee simple, to my 
children, to wit: Annie Davison, Mrs. L.P. Maxey, Mrs. Ida D. Rowe, Mrs. Sarah 
D. Cook, Mrs. Ellen D. Gilbert, Henry Davison and J.E. Davison, and to my two 
grandchildren, Robert McWhorter Davison and Charles Julian Davison, sons of my 
deceased son C. Julian Davison, provided, however, the said two grandchildren 
shall take jointly a child's part of my estate in this item devised, and stand 
in the place of their deceased parent;
     And provided, that any advancement to either of my said two sons, Henry 
Davison, and J.E. Davison, or any amount due by either of them, whether to me 
or to the estate of my deceased husband, the late R.E. Davison, shall be 
counted as an advancement and deducted from the portion of my estate inherited 
by them, respectively, under this item of this will, and they or either of 
them, shall account for the same to the other legatees.
     Item 4. I name and appoint my two daughters, Annie Davison and Mrs. L.P. 
Maxey, executrixes of this my will, relieving them of giving bond, of 
inventory, and of any returns to any court. I expressly authorize and empower 
them to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of my estate whenever in their 
judgment necessary or expedient, including stocks, bonds, notes, accounts, 
lands, personal property or whatever the same may be, making good titles to 
the purchaser or purchasers, such sale to be either private or public, and 
without advertisement or order of any court; to make settlements and 
compromises of disputed or insolvent claims; and to do all things in 
connection with my estate, and conduct and manage the same, in the same way 
and manner and as fully, as I could do in in life. [Handwritten -- In making 
this will, I am trying to follow the known wishes of my late husband, R.E. 
Davison.]
     Witness my hand and seal, this August 8th, 1934.
     [Mrs. R.E. Davison]
     Signed, sealed and declared by Mrs. R.E. Davison as her last will and 
testament in the presence of the undersigned, who sign hereto as witnesses at

we then signing in her presence and in the presence of each other. This August 
8th, 1934.
