The State of Louisiana, parish of Carroll, March 1st 1839 == Be
it remembered that I, Eli Harris, a Notary Public, in and for the 
parish of Carroll in the state of Louisiana, duly commissioned and
 sworn, residing at Providence in said parish and state, having been
 called at the request of Nancy Bieller at the residence of said parish
 and state, towrite her last Will & Testament. I repaired to her said
 residence on Lake Providence in said parish and State, and at her
 dictation wrote the following as her last Will and Testament __ to wit

 __ 1st I, Nancy Bieller, residing at Lake Providence in the parish of
Carroll and state of Louisiana, now low in health, but of sound and 
disposing mind,knowing the certainty of Death, and the uncertainty of
life, wish to arrange my worldly affairs before I die: __ therefore, I 
revoke and annull a certain act of Testament made by me on the twenty-
first day of December Eighteen hundred and thirty-six, executed before
Eli Harris Notary Public of said parish of Carroll at the town of
Providence of record in the office of the Parish Judge of said parish 
__ And further, I now revoke and annull all other last Wills and
Testaments heretofore made by me __ and now declare what follows to be 
my Last Will and Testament __ viz: I will and bequeath unto my daughter
Elizabeth Lester Bieller, wife of Felix Bosworth, residing in this
parish, She being my only child and heir of my body, all the property 
I now own, or which I may die possessed of, in the state of Louisiana,
and in the state of Mississippi, and in any other state or place 
whatever __ leaving her, the said Elizabeth, my sole and only heir and 
legatee, to use and enjoy for herself and her heirs all the property
which I have, leave, or die possessed of. == 2: If my said daughter
Elizabeth should die leaving no child of her body, then, and in that 
case, I wish my said son in law Felix Bosworth to have one fourth of 
all my said property, and the balance of my property to be equally 
divided between my brothers and sisters, or the heirs of said Felix 
Bosworth, and the heirs of said brothers and sisters. ==3d At my death 
I wish my said son-in-law Felix Bosworth to have the seizen of all my 
property, and to be my executor and detainer of all the property 
I may possessed of. ___ And having read the foregoing to the Testatrix

and David F. Castleman, witnesses residing in said parish of Carroll,
the said Nancy Bieller declared the foregoing to be her last Will and 
Testament. == Thus Done in the said parish of Carroll on this first day 
of March in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-
nine, in the presence of the foregoing named witnesses, without turning
