I am of sound mind and disposing memory and make this my last will and testament. I desire 
my Executors to see my house and buggy and cow and new feather beds, and bedding if I shall 
not have disposed of them in my lifetime for the benefit of my sons Thomas R. and Edmund B. 
Sandford. 2. I devise two beds and bedding and bed cloths which are marked in the names of 
these sons. 3. all the balance of my household furniture including silver and cupboard ware 
and my Kitchen Furniture I devise my Executors to sell for the benefit of all my children 
Equally and my Executors are directed to divide the proceeds among them accordingly. 4. all 
the money that I may have when I die and all that can be collected on the claims which I may 
leave shall be had for the benefit of my sons, Thomas R. and Edmund B. Sanford and should 
either of them die before he is twenty one years old all that he may be entitled to according 
to this will shall go to his brother the survivors of the said two sons. 5. I hereby appoint 
my son in law W. W. Taylor and my son Alfred P. Sandford the guardians of my sons Thomas R. 
and Edmund B. Sandford if they be infants when I die and Trustees to hold the estate which is 
hereby given to these infants for their benefit and if in the exercise of a reasonable 
discretion by these trustees they consider that more is necessary for the education and 
support of the younger than is required for the elder of the boys they are directed to act 
accordingly and on that account then shall be on difference in the amount to be given to my 
son when the time arrives for a division between thereunder this will & appoint the said 
trustees the Executors of this will. 6. at the age of twenty one years either of my sons 
Thomas R. or Edmund B. Sandford shall receive whatever is given him by this will.
