WILL OF MARY ELIZABETH BELL
STATE OF GEORGIA
HARALSON COUNTY              

I, Mary Elizabeth Bell, of said State and County,
being of sound mind and memory do make this my last
will and testament.

Item First:   I give, bequeath and devise to my only
two children, ALICE BELL AND CARRIE ELIZABETH BELL
daughters, share and share alike all my property of
whatever name or nature whether real or personal or
mixed, and wherever situated, free from all charge
or limitation whatever, to their own proper use,
benefit and behoof, except my just debts and burial
expenses.

Item Second:  My beloved husband having died several
years ago, and having implicit confidence in my
friend and neighbor, Mrs. Isabel D. Dodge, I give
and bequeath to her my two above named daughters
giving to said Mrs. Dodge the right to exercise all
natural parental authority in as complete a manner
as is now vested in me as their mother.  I
especially request that my said two daughters be
raised under good Christian influences and that they
be given as much in the way of educational
advantages as it is possible for them to have with
the limited means I am able to leave them.

Item Third:   I direct that in the case of the death
of either of my said daughters, then all the
remainder of my estate, shall belong to the
remaining daughter.

Item Fourth:  I hereby constitute and appoint my
said friend Mrs. Izabele D. Dodge, executrix of this
my last will and testament and I direct that my said
executrix shall not be required to make any
inventory or appraisement of the property; that she
shall not be required to give any bond as such
executrix and further that she shall have the right
to dispose of any of the property belonging to my
estate, whether real, personal or mixed at either
public or private sale as she may determine and that
she shall have the right to execute all necessary
titles to any such property in as complete a manner
as I could do if living at the time.  This August
17th 1919
                                                                     Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bell
Witnesses:    Alex Quick
