  Being sound in mind, but knowing the uncertainty of life, I write 
  this my last will & testament I appoint my nephew S.D. Watson my
  executor to carry out all the bequests of my will & expressly
  stipulate that he shall not be required to give any bond;
  To my beloved wife Kate A Buck - I give and bequeath as a token of 
  my appreciation of her love & kindness before marriage twenty five 
  hundred dollars - to each of my three nieces Mrs. Mollie Briscoe,
  Linda Watson and Katherine Buck & my nephew Wm.H. Buck Jr twenty
  five hundred dollars - and to my five step children each one hundred
  dollars, to the Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist and Catholic churches

  asylum for children. The balance of my property if any after all
  my debts are paid - shall be equally divided in three parts and 
  given one part to each of my sisters and the other to my brother
  Edward's children equally as is evidenced by my signature.
