Georgia
Meriwether County, In the name of God Amen.

	I, Silas Mote of said County and State 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 required my family and myself that I 
should make a disposition of the property which a Kind Providence has blessed 
me.  I do therefore make this my last will and testament hereby revoking and 
annulling all others by me heretofore made.
	I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent like manner 
suitable to my circumstances and condition in life.  My soul I trust shall 
return to rest with God who gave it as I hope for salvation through the merits 
and atonement of the blessed Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
	I desire and direct that all my just debts be paid without delay by my 
executor heretofore named and appointed.  I bequeath to my beloved wife Mary 
Mote all of my property after my just debts are paid during her natural life.  
After her death, my will is, after her death, that my property be equally 
divided between my lawful heirs except for the place that I now live on.  
Thirty two acres more or less of lot of land no fifty five that to be disposed 
of hereafter.
	I hereby constitute and appoint my friend James A. Rowe executor of 
this my last will and testament, this April 21, 1874.

							Silas Mote

Signed, sealed, and declared and published by Silas Mote as his last will and 
testament in the presence of us the undersigned who subscribed our names hereto
