1 October 1879    Will of MALACHI  JOSSEY

     In the name of God Amen.  I, MALACHI JOSSEY of the State and County,  
Being of Advanced age but of sound and disposing mind and memory, Knowing that 
I must shortly depart this life, deem it right and proper, both as respect to 
my family and myself that I should make a disposition of the property with 
which a kind providence has blest me.  I do therefore make this my Last Will 
and Testament, hereby revoking and annulling all others by me heretofore made.
     FIRST.  I desire and direct that my body be buried in decent and Christian 
like manner, suitable to my circumstances and condition in life, My soul I 
trust shall return to rest with God who gave us. I hope for salvation through 
the merit and atonement of the blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
     SECOND.  I desire and direct that all my Just Debts be paid without delay 
by my executors hereafter named and appointed.
     THIRD. I give and bequeath and devise to my beloved wife, all my real 
property consisting of my two lots of land Numbers (194) and (195,) One Hundred 
and Ninety Four and One Hundred and Ninety Five in all being (405,) Four 
Hundred and Five acres more or less in the (31,) Thirty First District of 
Marion and State of Georgia, and all belonging to me, consisting of horses, 
cattle and hogs, also together with all the farming tools belonging to my farm, 
during her natural life time, also all the Household and Kitchen furniture.
     FOURTH.  I desire that EUGENIE, my Daughter so long as she remains with 
her Mother, shall receive a sufficient support, her Mothers life time, and 
after, have to her own proper use, One Hundred acres of land containing all the 
Houses, last, half  supposed of the lot No 194, One hundred Ninety Four, 
Provided she does not marry, and if she should marry, said Hundred acres of 
land to revert back to the Estate and be sold, and be equally divided with all 
my heirs, and after my wife's death, I desire that all my Estate should be 
equally divided amongst my heirs.
     FIFTH.  I have constituted and appointed my Wife LETTICE JOSSEY executor 
of my Last Will and Testament.  1 October 1879.

Witnes
