	          WILL OF EPHRIAM F. COOK

GEORGIA, Rockdale County:  I, E. F. Cook of said state and 
county and of sound mind and memory, do make this my last will
and testament, revoking all other wills heretofore made by me. 

     Item 1st:  I will that my body be burried in a manner suit-
able to my condition in life, and the expenses be paid with my 
other just debts.

     Item 2:  I will and bequeath to my beloved wife Mary 
Elizabeth Cook my home place in Conyers Ga with all livestock, 
tools of all kinds, household and kitchen furniture,  farm 
containing forty acres more or less, with the right to sell 
the same and to reinvest in another home if she so desires,  
she to sell at private or public sale without any order and to 
make deeds of conveyance.  As she is the sole beneficiary in my
life policy of $2,173.00 dollars, she will not need any dower
or year's support.  She is to have all the farm products such 
as corn, cotton, cotton seed, and automobile. 

     Item 3:  I will that my home place near Union Church be 
kept in the family if agreeable to my children, if they want 
to sell the same,  sell to each other or divide it up any way
to make it equal among them.  As I have paid out for L. F. Cook
the amount of $1500.00 dollars, he is to have no more until the 
others is made up equal,  then whatever remains is to be 
equally divided among my seven children share and share alike.
Lee is to pay no interest on this amount.  Denzer to have my 
gold watch and chain.  Cora to have my red ring.  I hereby 
appoint W. B. Cook and A. D. Cook executors of this my will,
they to give no bond nor make any returns to court.   This 
March 22nd 1919. 
                                   /s/ E. F. Cook
