WILL of JOHN TILMON STUBBLEFIELD
Fulton County, Kentucky - Will Book #1, page 520
*****************************************

I, J. T. Stubblefield, of Fulton, Fulton County, Kentucky, hereby make and
declare the following type written matter to be my last will and testament, expressly revoking all other will or wills heretofore made by me.

First - I will all my legal debts paid out of any money I have on hand at my
death and if not a sufficient amount be in hand for that purpose, I will that 
my executors herein after named to sell such personal property as I may then 
own, as is most salable to raise money enough to pay all my said debts and 
funeral expenses and in lieu of there being enough personal property of a 
salable nature and character then on hand to raise such fund I will that my 
said executors shall sell and dispose of any real estate that I have on hand 
and own at my death to raise such fubd of money and my said executors ot any
administrator with the will annexed of this my last will, is hereby authorized 
and empowered to make such sales for the aforesaid purpose and is further 
authorized and empowered to make any private or public sale of any property I 
may have and own at my death, after their qualification and make any necessary 
and proper deeds to same, as well for the purpose as for the division of my 
estate and payment of any legacy herein provided for, and such sale or sales, 
shall have all the legal force and effect as it would have if I were to make 
same during my lifetime and they shall have the right to make such sale in such 
reasonable terms as may seem to them best in the premises.

Second - I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Susan Stubblefield, the sum of
Two Hundred ($200.00) dollars to be paid to her by my executors, and my reason
for giving her a legacy of this amount is that she is the owner in her own right
of a considerable estate, and will not need any thing from my estate. If my said
wife does not survive me then her heirs are to receive no party of my estate.

Third - I give and bequeath unto my two children, if they survive me, all and
singular the remaining portion of my estate of any and character, to be equally
divided among them share and share alike. If either of my said children, Mrs.
Lena Beadles and Minnie Webb should not survive me, then I wish any child or 
children which they may leave to have its of their mother's part or share in my 
said estate, or to take as their mother would under the above gift to them, or 
if both of my said two children should die before my death, I will that each 
one's child or children shall take hereunder its or their mother's share and 
that same may and shall be paid to such child or children upon their arriving 
at the age of twenty one years, or to them or any of them upon their marrying., 
if they are then as much as 19 years of age. In the event that my said two 
daughters or either one of them die before my death, leaving no living children 
at her or their death, to take in its or their mother's place, then I will that
all my estate shall pass and go to whichever of my said children that survives
me (the other having dies leaving no living children) or to the child or
children of the one who may leave living children surviving me. In the event
both of my said daughters die before my death and neither of them leave any
child living at my death, shall take in the stead of any of my grand children,
and like my said grand children are provided for herein, and if there be no such
of my descendants; viz; my own children, grandchildren or great grand children, 
living at my death, I wish and will that my estate, in that event go to my legal
heirs, whomsoever that may be.

I nominate and appoint my said children as the executors of this my last will
and request the court where  this my last will may be probated to permit them to
qualify as such without any bond whatever, and in the event the court refuses to
permit them to qualify without bond, Then I will and direct them to cause this 
my will to be probated and thereupon take possession and charge of my estate 
entire in their own right, as given to them herein and proceed to use enjoy and 
appropriate same to and for themselves without making any report thereof to any 
court whatever, except that if some grand child or grand children should take 
under this my last will in the stead of their parent, as above provided, the 
share or portion of such grand child or grandchild or great grandchildren, who
are under the age mentioned above, shall be accounted for and paid over to their 
regular guardian, by my said executors. I desire that if only one of my said
daughters survive me that such surviving one as survives me, shall have the 
power to procure such assistance in the way of counsel as they may need in 
winding up my estate., and suggest that they take from such party, a bond to 
cover any negligence or necessary, for I do not wish any suit brought to settle 
my estate in any court, unless is absolutely and imperatively needed, nor do I 
wish that any contest shall be filed to break or modify this my will, and in the 
event of any such contest by any party herein provided for, I will that such 
party immediately upon bringing such contest, forfeit and loose all gifts
hereunder, and I suggest that in winding up my said estate, that private sales 
of my property where any must be sold be made when practical, both because 
better prices can generally be in that way obtained and because it will be more 
economical to make such sales.

Signed in the presence of H. F. Taylor and Ed Thomas as witnesses to my
signature, who also sign same in my presence and in the presence of each other. 
This Dec. 21st, 1904.
	Jno. T. Stubblefield
Witneeses, 	H. F. Taylor
		Ed Thomas
