Will of Samuel A Leathers

I, Samuel A. Leathers of Morgan County Indiana make and publish this my last 
will and testament.

I give and bequeath to Virginia Harrington (subject to the payment of all my 
debts) all the property both real and personal that I shall die seized of, for 
and during her natural life for the following purpose, to wit: to take charge 
of, use, control and manage the same and collect the rents, proffits and 
income thereof and use the same for her own support and the support and 
education of my children, until the youngest of my children then living shall 
reach the age of twenty one (21) years. After my boys shall be come of age, 
then I direct that the income and profits of my estate shall be divided 
between Virginia Harrington and my daughters as shall be proper and just.

If said Virginia  Harrington shall at any time be married to any other person 
than her present husband or shall at any time fail or refuse to properly 
manage the said real and personal estate and furnish a home for my said 
children and use the said income for the support of herself and said children, 
then said estate shall be divided equally among my children then living. 

If all of my said children should die before said Virginia Harrington, then I 
direct that all of said property shall become the absolute property of said 
Virginia Harrington.

I hereby appoint Seth Mathews executor of this my last will.

Witness my hand this 11 day of May 1883
