Last Will and Testament of Jacob Caple

     (Item) I give and devise to my daughter, Mary Ann, the House and other 
buildings now occupied by her, on my Farm Known as "The Factory Place" and 
fifteen acres of Land, the land to be located by my Executor herein after 
named, in such a manner as to make said location most convenient for said 
house and buildings.
      (Item) I order and direct my said Executor as soon as practical after 
my death to sell all of the balance of my said Factory Place, except the part 
thereof devised to my said daughter Mary Ann, and the proceeds of sale to be 
applied to the payment of all my debts and funeral charges, and the balance 
if any, to be paid to my wife Ruth Ann for her own use and benefit, and
     (Item) I authorize my said Executor to make to the purchaser, a deed of 
conveyance for the same and also to make a deed of conveyance to my said 
daughter Mary Ann, or to her heirs, for her portion of said Farm.
     (Item) I give and devise all of the balance of my property both Real and 
personal not above desposed of, to my wife Ruth Ann, during her life, and 
after her death to my two daughters Sophia and Mary Ann, in equal shares or 
portions, and in the event of the death of both or either of my said 
daughters, then the property so devised to them shall go to their respective 
heirs.
     (Item) In consideration of having provided for all of my sons by deed 
and otherwise I hereby decline making any provision for them in this my Last 
Will and Testament.
     (Item) And lastly I, do hereby constitute and appoint my friend William 
A. Wampler, to be sole Executor of this my last will and Testament revoking 
and annulling all former wills by me heretofore made ratifying and conforming 
this, and none other to be my Last Will and Testament.
     (Item) In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty 
third day of September, in the year eighteen hundred and seventy one.
