Will of Joel Moody

I, Joel Moody of said state and county, being of advanced age and knowing that 
I must shortly depart from this world, deem it right and proper, both as 
respects myself and family, that I should make a disposition of the property, 
which a kind providence has blessed me. I therefore make this my last will and 
testament, hereby revoking and annulling all others heretofore made by me.

Item. First, I devise and direct that my body be buried in a decent and 
Christian like manner suitable to my circumstances and condition.

property; and my son Green B. Moody $150 in money or property. Then the 
remainder to be divided equally among the three above named sons and my son 
Riley Moody.

It is my wish and desire that my son Green B. Woody live with my wife during 
her life, and attend to her strictly in every respect, and to the farm and 
farming concerns and all other business that pertaineth to the interest of 
said estate and for the peace and ease of my wife. And for his services thus 
rendered I bequeath to him my son Green B. Moody a proportionate part of all 
the profits arising from the proceeds of said farm while supervising said 
estate. 

Item. Fourth, I constitute and appoint my son Green B. Moody and my friend 
Daniel Denham executors to this my last will and testament. October 1st 1851.
