State of Georgia, Taliaferro County.
Last will and testament of John V. Andrews
I, John V. Andrews, of said State and County, being of sound and disposing mind 
and memory, do make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills 
heretofore made by me.  

Item 1.  It is my will and desire that my Executor, hereinafter named, out of 
the cash on hand and the funds arising from the insurance on my life, pay all 
my just debts, and that he have erected at the graves of my daughter, Mrs. A.R. 
Taylor, my son, Norman Andrews, and my wife’s sister, Miss Jettie Gunn, each a 
monument or tombstone costing Fifty Dollars each, or approximately that sum, to 
be selected by my said Executor.  It is my will further that my said Executor 
have erected at the graves of my self and wife, Mrs. Laura Andrews, a double 
stone or monument at a cost of One Hundred and Twenty five Dollars, or 
approximately that sum, to be selected by my said Executor.  

Item 2.  My said Executor is hereby empowered and authorized to purchase from 
the remainder of said cash and insurance money the one half undivided interest 
of John F. Holden in and to a tract of land containing One Hundred and Four 
acres, more or less, now owned jointly by said Holden and myself, without any 
order of the Court, provided in the discretion of said Executor it is advisable 
or advantageous to purchase same at the price said Holden may be willing to 
accept.  

Item 3.  It is my will that the remainder of such cash and proceeds from said 
life insurance, whether said interest in said land is purchased by my Executor 
or not, be equally divided among my children, W.C. Andrews, R.L. Andrews, Mrs. 
Roxie Callahan, Miss Gordon Andrews, and my two grandchildren, Glenn Taylor and 
Robert Taylor, said two grandchildren receiving together the one share 
represented by the interest of their deceased mother.  The interest of the said 
R.L. Andrews under the provisions of this item of my will, my said Executor 
shall apply toward discharging the indebtedness of the said R.L. Andrews to me 
and to such debts as my estate may be liable for on his account.  

Item 4.  My said Executor is hereby empowered and authorized to sell, without 
any order of any Court, in his discretion, the bank stock owned by me in the 
Bank of Taliaferro, Crawfordville, Ga.  Should my said Executor see fit to sell 
said bank stock, the proceeds from the sale of same shall be subject to the 
provisions of items 1, 2 and 3, of this will and disposed of as therein 
provided.

Item 5.  My said Executor is also hereby empowered and authorized to sell, 
without any order of Court, my interest in any mercantile business in which I 
may be interested at the time of my death, the proceeds of such sale, as well 
as the sale of any notes and accounts in which I may be jointly interested with 
others, which notes and accounts my Executor is likewise authorized to dispose 
of without any order of Court, in his discretion, shall also be subject to the 
provisions of said items 1, 2, and 3 of this will and disposed of accordingly.  

Item 6.  It is my will and desire that the remainder of my estate, both real 
and personal, remain intact and be kept together as long as my beloved wife, 
Laura Andrews, and my daughter, Gordon Andrews, or either of them, shall live, 
or until my said daughter, Gordon Andrews, shall marry, should she marry after 
the death of my said wife, or until the marriage of my said wife, should she 
marry after the death of my said daughter.  

Item 7.  It is my will and desire, and I hereby bequeath to them, that my wife, 
Laura Andrews, and said daughter Gordon Andrews, have the use and occupancy, or 
income from same, of the home in Crawfordville, where I now reside, free of all 
rent, taxes, repairs and insurance, my said Executor to keep said home insured 
for at least $1000.00 and the household goods for at least $500.00 during their 
natural lives, or until the marriage of said Gordon Andrews, should she marry 
after the death of my said wife, or until the marriage of my said wife, should 
she marry after the death of said Gordon Andrews.  

Item 8.  Out of the income from my estate I will and bequeath to my said wife 
the sum of $275.00 annually, so long as she shall live, or until she may marry 
again, and to my said daughter, Gordon Andrews, the sum of $275.00 annually, 
during her life or until she shall marry.  In addition to said sums annually, 
should my said wife and daughter, Gordon, or either of them, before marriage, 
have any sickness requiring unusual or extraordinary expense for medicine or 
medical attention, such expense shall be borne by the income from my estate 
before there shall be any division of such income any year.  The foregoing 
provisions in this will for my said wife are intended and shall be in lieu of a 
years support and dower, or years support or dower out of my estate.  

Item 9.  It is my will and desire that the balance of the income from my estate 
shall be equally divided each year by said Executor among my other children, 
W.C. Andrews, R.L. Andrews, Mrs. Roxie Callahan, and my two grandchildren, 
Glenn Taylor and Robert Taylor, or their children, should any one or more die 
leaving children, said grandchildren, Glenn Taylor and Robert Taylor, and the 
children of any deceased child, taking per stirpes and not per capita.  And 
should my said wife, or my said daughter, Gordon, marry, she shall participate 
in the division of the said income from my estate in lieu of the provisions 
made for them in the foregoing items of this will, each taking a child’s part 
with the other children and grandchildren as provided in this item.  The 
portion of such income from my estate falling to the said R.L. Andrews, shall 
be applied by my said Executor to the debts of the said R.L. Andrews, until 
such indebtedness to me and my estate shall have been fully paid.  

Item 10.  Upon the death of my said wife, Laura, and daughter, Gordon, or upon 
the marriage of either of them after the death of the other, my entire estate 
then remaining shall be divided equally in kind among my children, or 
grandchildren, as the case may be, per stirpes.  Should the said R.L. Andrews 
at any time voluntarily encumber the interest or property coming to him under 
the provisions of this item of this will, or should such property or interest 
of the said R.L. Andrews be levied on or seized in any way by any creditors of 
the said R.L. Andrews, such interest and property shall at once, in either 
event, become the property and interest of the children, or grandchildren, as 
the case may be, taking per stirpes, of the said R.L. Andrews and not subject 
to any debts of the said R.L. Andrews, except as above provided.  

Item 11.  Upon the death of any one, or more, of my said children, or of my 
said grandchildren, Glenn Taylor and Robert Taylor, leaving no child or 
children, the interest of such deceased child or children, or of such 
grandchildren, Glenn Taylor and Robert Taylor, shall revert back and become a 
part of my estate and be divided as herein provided among those remaining, or 
their children, as the case may be, the children and grandchildren taking per 
stirpes and not per capita.  

Item 12.  I hereby nominate and appoint my son, W.C. Andrews, my Executor under 
this will, and in addition to the authority above given him under this will I 
hereby [word missing] him to sell any live stock I may have at the time of my 
death without the order of any Court, and hereby relieve him of the duty of 
having my estate appraised.  

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, this the 3rd day of 
November, 1913.  
All interlineations herein made before signing.
/s/  John V. Andrews.

[Codicil]
Georgia, Taliaferro County.
I, John V. Andrews, of said State and County, being of sound and disposing mind 
and memory, do make this codicil to my last will and testament heretofore made 
by me, to wit:  On the 3rd day of November, 1913, said will being attested by 
W.O. Lunsford, Jos. A. Rhodes and M. R. Saggus, so as to change the provisions 
of said will in the following particulars:  
  I wish to change item 6 of said will by striking from said item all the words 
in same following the words “shall live”, so that said item shall read as 
follows:  “Item 6.  It is my will and desire that the remainder of my estate, 
both real and personal, remain intact and be kept together so long as my 
beloved wife, Laura Andrews, and my said daughter, Gordon Andrews, or either of 
them, shall live”.  
  I wish Item 10 so changed in said will, and I hereby make such change in 
same, that the words “or upon the marriage of either of them after the death of 
the other” shall be stricken from said item, so that the division in kind 
therein provided for will not be made till the death of both my said wife and 
daughter, Gordon.  
  I wish to change, and I hereby make said change, Item 12 of said will by 
nominating and appointing my friend, Hawes Cloud, as Executor with my said son, 
W.C. Andrews, already named in said item, hereby authorizing my said Executors, 
W.C. Andrews and Hawes Cloud, to use their discretion in all matters necessary 
to carry out the provisions and intention of this will above referred to being 
authorized to sell at public or private sale without order of Court, being my 
last will and testament with the changes above made.  It is not my intention 
that the commissions as Executor compensate said Cloud for any legal services 
he may render my estate.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, this the 28th day of March, 
1914.
The above interlineations made before signing.
