WILL BOOK A, PAGE 213            
 WILL OF DAVID L. POTTER

STATE OF GEORGIA,
HARALSON COUNTY             
I, David L. POTTER, of City of Tallapoosa, Ga.,
being of sound and disposing mind and memory do make
this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking all
former wills and testaments heretofore made by me.

First: It is my will and I do order, that all my
just debts including expenses of last sickness and
funeral expenses, be duly paid out of my estate.

Second: I give and bequeath to my son GEORGE the sum
of One Hundred Dollars to be paid as soon as
conveniently can be done after my death. Third: The
remainder and residue of my estate, both real and
personal, wherever situated and whatever the same
may be, I give, bequeath and devise to my beloved
wife ELIZABETH, to have and to hold the same to her
own use and behoof forever.

In doing, I do not forget my daughter MARY JANE, nor
my sons HARRY, ARTHUR AND ERNEST . Instead of
leaving them any part of my estate directly, I rely
upon my wife providing my said daughter a
comfortable home during her life, and to make
suitable provisions for her after her, my wife’s
death, and as well to do by my last mentioned sons
as her sense of justice and right may dictate and
determine.

I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my wife
ELIZABETH sole executrix of this my last Will and
Testament, without bond or other security, with full
power to carry out all existing contracts and
agreements made by me without any order of any court
in the premises, and also without any order of court
sell and by suitable deed and deeds to convey any
and all my estate, both real and personal as to her
may seem best.

In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and
affixed my seal, this 17th day of August, 1908

                                  SS; DAVID L. POTTER (SEAL)

              I, ELIZABETH M. POTTER, do solemnly swear              that this writing contains the true and last will of the within named DAVID L. POTTER, DECEASED, so far as I know and believe, and that I will well and truly execute the same in accordance with the laws of this state. So Help me God.
                                                                     ELIZABETH M. POTTER
