John James MCGREEVY, Sr. Will
Allegany County, Maryland Wills

In the name of God, Amen. 
I, John J. McGreevy, Sr. of Ocean, Allegany County, in the State of 
Maryland, being feeble of body, and of sound and disposing minds, 
memory and understanding, and considering the certainty of death and 
the uncertainty of the time thereof, and being desirous to settle my 
worldly affairs, and thereby be the better prepared to leave this 
world, when it shall please God to call me hence; do therefore make 
and publish this, my last Will and Testament, in manner and form 
following, that is to say: First and principally, I commit my soul 
into the hands of Almighty God, and my body to the earth to be decently 
buried at the discretion of my Executor hereinafter named.  After my 
debts and funeral charges are paid, I devise and bequeath as follows: 
I give, devise and bequeath unto Bernard P. McGreevy, Mrs. Jas. Bryson, 
(my son and daughter) my eight room dwelling house and all the out 
buildings on the premises, located at Ocean, Allegany Co. Md.  And 
also I give and bequeath all of the Household Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, 
Pictures, etc. to Bernard P. McGreevy and Mrs. James Bryson.  And lastly, 
I do hereby constitute and appoint Bernard P. McGreevy, to be sole 
Executor of this my last Will and Testament, revoking and annulling all 
former Wills by me, heretofore made, ratifying and confirming this, and 
none other, to be my last Will and Testament.
In Testimony Whereof, I here to set my hand and seal this fifth day of 
March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twelve.
