John D. Dunn Will


State of Georgia
Meriwether County

I John D. Dunn of said State & County being of sound and disposing mind and 
memory knowing that I must shortly depart this life, deem it right and proper 
that I should make a disposition of the property which a kind Providence has 
blessed me with.  I do therefore make this my last will & testament hereby 
revoking and annulling all others by me heretofore made.  

Item 1st.  I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent and 
Christianlike manner suitable to my condition and circumstances in life.

Item 2nd.  I desire and direct that all my debts be paid without unnecessary 
delay by my executors hereinafter named and appointed.

Item 3rd.  I give and bequeath to my granddaughter, Avil Estel Dunn, my gold 
watch and chain and a certain mule name Clint.

Item 4th.  I give and bequeath to my grandson, Arthur D. Jones, a certain 
parcel of land in the 9th Dist. of Meriwether County which lies on a line South 
of a certain one acre lot which I have this day deeded to Mrs. Carrie Dunn and 
which said tract of land is part of a lot of land No. sixty eight, lying 
between the Baptist Church Street and the Flat Shoals Road and out to the Halls 
Bridge Road, which contains about four acres more or less.

Item 5th.  I desire and direct my executors herein after named and appointed if 
it should become necessary to sell any of my property to pay my debts that all 
that part of lot not included in the legacy above made lying West of the Flat 
Shoals Road off of Lot No. 68 be sold at such time and in such manner as my 
executors deem best, and then if the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to 
pay off all of my debts then I desire and direct that my executors hereafter 
named and appointed sell enough of my land off of the East part of that portion 
of Lot No. one twenty five which I own be sold for the purpose of paying my 
just debts.

Item 6th.  I give and bequeath to my son, John D. Dunn, the remainder of my 
estate both real and personal of every kind, character and wherever it may be 
found, for and during his life and the remainder to his children if any he may 
have at that time and if any of his children are leaving child or children, 
then such child or children should take in lieu of their father or mother as 
the case may be, and if said John D. Dunn should die without child or children 
or grandchildren thence and in that case all my property remaining at that time 
to go to Aurthur D. Jones, my grandson, my granddaughter Bessie Charest(?) as 
already having been provided for I leave her my good will.

Item 7th.   I hereby constitute and appoint my brother, J. C. Dunn, and my son, 
John D. Dunn, my executors of this my last will and testament.   This January 
31st, 1895.

								John D. Dunn, 
Sr.

Signed sealed delivered and published by John D. Dunn as his last will and 
testament
in the presence of us the undersigned who subscribed our names hereunto in the 
presence of said Testator at his special instance and request and in the 
presence of each other this January 31st, 1895.
