(handwritten by notary, signed by testator)

State of Louisiana
Parish of Orleans

Be it known that on the twenty fourth day of October
nineteen hundred and thirty five.

Before me, Felix J. Dreyfous a notary public for the
Parish of Orleans and City of New Orleans, therein
residing.

And in the presence of Miss Johanna Pixburg and of Messrs
Joseph L. Weiss and George Abel Dreyfous, all three
residents of this City, witnesses possessing all the legal
requirements for competency.

Personally came and appeared Mr. Henry Joseph Rooney of
this city.

Who, being of sound mind and of understanding did dictate
to me, notary, in the presence and hearing of said three
witnesses, his last will and testament in manner
following, to-wit:


“My name is Henry Joseph Rooney. I am the widower of
Bertha Dedon Rooney.

“I give and bequeath to my daughter Bertha M. Rooney my
property Nos. 1016 and 1018 Fourth Street in this City as
a remuneration and recompense for the services she has
rendered to me since the death of her above-named mother –
January 17, 1919, in ministering to my wants, caring for
my health and providing for my comfort and wellbeing.

“I also appoint my said daughter my testamentary executrix
and _de_________________ of my property.

“I have not heretofore made any will or testament.”

Thus, this last will and testament was dictated to me,
notary, by the testator and I have written the same with
my own hand as dictated to me and then I read it to the
testator who declared that he perfectly understands the
same and persisted therein. The whole in the constant
presence and having of said testator and of said three
witnesses.

Done and passed in my office on this day, month, and year
first above written, at one time, without interruption,
or turning aside to other And after the reading of
the whole by me, notary, to the testator in the presence
and hearing of said three witnesses, the testator has
signed with witnesses and me, the notary.
