WILL OF REUBEN HOLCOMBE
STATE OF GEORGIA
HARALSON COUNTY  

To, Reuben K. Holcombe AND Jesse Beall, 
I will set forth here what I want you to do for N.
E. A. HOLCOMBE after I am dead.  I want you to take
in hand what money and notes and collect for her
support what the land lacks of making her support
and keep the money out on interest and see that the
interest is paid up every year and see that she has
a plenty to keep her from want, as long as she lives
or if she should marry to another man then she must
look to him for support and this writing will be nul
and void and you will collect and divide equal among
my heirs and I want you to let BETSY ANN have what
there is in the house for her to use while she lives
unless there is more than she wants to keep, then
divide it or sell it suits best, if she should marry
another man or moves away then these writings will
be nul and void.  It will be best to have a
memoranda taken of what I leave here so it will be
kept together. 

What N. E. A. HOLCOMBE has of her own after her
death I want FANNIE BUNTIN to have it and you see
that she gets it and don’t divide the money out till
after BETSEY ANN is dead for fear she might need it
all. After her death divide among the heirs and you
take your pay out and then divide the balance of the
Estate equal among the heirs.  This is my request to
you, see to renting the land, see that BETSEY ANN
gets the rent and what it lacks of her support, pay
it out of the money for I don’t want her to want and
not git it and keep the money and notes til after
BETSEY’S death and if any is left then divide it and
she can’t live by herself see that she has some
person to live with her.  This November 25th, 1890.

If there is anything left out you can tell by what I
have wrote how to do about it by what I have wrote.

I hope it will be agreeable with all . Farewell.
