Georgia, Washington County
  I, Grace W. Smith, of said State and County, being of sound and disposing 
mind and memory, do make, declare and publish this my last Will and Testament.
ITEM ONE - I direct my executors hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts 
as soon as practicable after my death, including any expenses of last illness, 
burial expenses and a suitable marker over my grave.
ITEM TWO - I give and bequeath to the FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF SANDERSVILLE, the 
sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) in cash.
ITEM THREE - I give and bequeath to my niece, MRS. RODELLE FOLSOM, who now 
resides in Valdosta, Georgia, the crewel embroidered picture, which she gave to 
me as a gift, and I wish returned to her.
ITEM FOUR - To JAMES SMITH, I give the small wooden tray which was hand carved 
by his grandfather Smith.
ITEM FIVE - I give and bequeath to my brothers and sisters, who survive me, all 
of my personal effects, including jewelry and clothing, my household furniture 
and furnishings to be divided among them as they may desire or see fit. Any of 
these items which they do not choose, I wish to be sold and the proceeds 
divided among said brothers and sisters.
ITEM SIX - I give, devise and bequeath all the rest and residue of my property 
of every kind and character, both real and personal, including my house and lot 
in Sandersville, Georgia, time certificates, savings and checking accounts, 
stocks, and any automobile I may own at such time, to my brothers, BONNIE M. 
WILLIAMS, WILLIE J. WILLIAMS, WALTER HOLMES WILLIAMS, and to my sisters, SUSIE 
W. FLOYD and LENA W. BOATRIGHT and to my nephews, GROVER C. McREE, JACK McREE, 
and EDWIN McREE, Jr., that is I wish my estate to be divided into six (6) equal 
shares or part, each of my brothers and sisters receiving one whole share each 
and my three nephews to receive a one-third (1/3) part of one share. It is my 
wish and desire and I wish so instruct my executors that all real estate and 
personal property, unless hereinbefore given under other items of this my will, 
be sold for the best price obtainable at the time, and the proceeds divided 
together with whatever monies I may have at such time as herein set forth.
ITEM SEVEN - I hereby constitute and appoint my brother, Walter Holmes Williams 
and my sister, Susie W. Floyd, as co-executors of this my Last Will and 
Testament. I relieve them from giving any bond, and from having any inventory 
and appraisement made upon my estate. I also relieve them from making any 
returns to any court of their acts as such personal representatives. It is my 
will and desire that they shall take complete charge of whatever estate I may 
leave at my death, sell, divide and distribute the same, according to this my 
will, without the necessity for any court orders or other legal formalities, 
other than the probate of this will.
ITEM EIGHT - In the event one of the above-named personal representatives has 
predeceased me, or is unable to serve for any reason, then I name and appoint 
J.P. Floyd as alternate executor to serve with the remainder executor with all 
the powers, privileges and immunities herein given under ITEM SEVEN above.
  In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, declared and published 
this my Last Will and Testament, this the 12th day of March 1976.

Mrs. Grace W. Smith
