LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DARIUS A. HORRALL

Know all men by these presents that I, Darius A. Horrall, of Knox County, 
Indiana, being of sound and disposing memory and mind do hereby make and 
publish this my last WILL and TESTAMENT. 

ITEM 1 - I hereby revoke any and all former WILLS by me at any time made.

ITEM 2 - It is my will that as soon after my death as may be found practicable 
that all my just debts and funeral expense shall be paid but it is my desire 
and I hereby request of my beloved wife and my children except Cillar Kimmons 
that none of my real estate shall be sold for the purpose of paying my debts, 
but that they shall assume my indebtedness and pay the same, if any shall exist 
after disposing of my personal property. 

ITEM 3 - I will devise and bequeath to my beloved daughter Cillar Kimmons for 
her natural life thirty (30) acres of land to be taken off of the east end of 
the south half of the north west quarter of section eight (8) in Township one 
(I) north range ten west in Knox County, Indiana said thirty (30) acre tract to 
be of even width across said east end of said above described tract.  I will 
devise and bequeath the fee simple of said above described thirty (30) acre 
tract to the children of my said daughter Cillar Kimmons subject to the life 
estate of said Cillar Kimmons.  And the land hereby willed devised and 
bequeathed to my beloved daughter Cillar Kimmons for life and to her children 
in fee simple at her death, is to be free from any and all my indebtedness of 
whatever character. 

ITEM 4 - I will devise and bequeath to my beloved wife Rebecca Horrall in fee 
simple the one third value of all my real estate, except that devised to Cillar 
Kimmons and her children in ITEM 3 (three) hereof and the one third of my 
personal property, after my just debts shall have been paid, and it is my will 
and desire that my said wife shall have set off to her the one third in value 
of my said realty so as to include the homestead where I now live but not to 
infringe or encroach upon the land hereinbefore devised to my daughter Cillar 
Kimmons and her children. And it is my will that my said wife shall assume and 
pay the one third of my indebtedness if any shall exist after applying my 
personal property to the payment thereof.

ITEM 5 - I will devise and bequeath to my beloved children James Horrall, Abner 
Horrall, Cleaver Horrall, Charlotte Purcell and Zettie Horrall all the rest and 
residue of my estate both real and personal, in fee simple.  And I will and 
direct that each and all of them shall assume and pay their prorated share of 
my indebtedness if any shall exist after applying thereto my personal property. 

ITEM 6 - I hereby request that my son Abner Horrall shall by appointed Guardian 
of my minor daughter Zettie Horrall and ask him to so manage her estate as to 
pay off the prorated share of my indebtedness if any shall exist that may 
attach to her real estate, without having recourse to the sale of her land. 

ITEM 7 - I hereby nominate and appoint my son James Horrall as the Executor of 
this my last will and testament. 

ITEM 8 - It is my desire and I direct that the real estate to which my children 
James Horrall, Abner Horrall, Cleaver Horrall and Charlotte Purcell shall be 
entitled under the terms of this instrument shall be so set off to them as to 
include the homes where they now each reside. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF - I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of January 1897.
