In the name of God Amen 
I, Dicey Farris, being very far advanced in years and knowing that all must
die but being of sound mind and desposing memory, do make and constitute this
my last will and testament. Hereby revoking all other wills or devises made
by me heretofore. 

1st., I will and bequeath to my daughter Mary Farris, the tract of land upon
which we now live being the same tract of land which was deeded to me by my
father, John Farris. 

2nd., I also will to my said daughter Mary Farris, my bay horse (Jim) and all
other stock I have on hand. Also my household and kitchen furniture of every
kind whatever. The foregoing bequest is in consideration of the care and
attention which I have already received of my said daughter, Mary, and with
the understanding that she is to take care of and provide for me the 
remainder of my natural life. 

                                       Dicey Farris
