of same to be in the discretion of my Executrix hereinafter named; I give, 
devise and bequeath my estate as follows:

	Item 1. - To Doris N. DeLozier, of the City of Washington, in the District 
of Columbia, I give devise and bequeath, all property, of every kind and 
description and wheresoever located, which I may own or possess at the time of 
my death; she to have and hold the same in trust and confidence nevertheless, 
for the benefit of my wife, Nellie F. Wright, for and during the term of her 
natural life; with full power and authority hereby vested in the said Doris N. 
DeLozier, as such Trustee, to dispose of any and all of my said property, either 
at public or private sale; and upon such terms as she may deem most expedient, 
to the end that so long as my said wife shall survive me, she shall be 
comfortably supported and maintained, from the income and corpus of my estate, 
and that the costs of her funeral expenses be likewise paid out of funds 
pertaining to the Trust Estate hereby created.

	Item 2. - Upon the death of my said wife, I direct that the trust hereby 
created shall cease and terminate, and that the remainder of my estate, whether 
corpus or income, then belong to the said Doris N. DeLozier, absolutely and 
without any condition whatsoever.
	Lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint the said Doris N. DeLozier, 
Executrix of this, my said Last Will and Testament; and Trustee for the purposes 
hereinbefore set forth, with the power hereinbefore vested in here; hereby 
revoking all other Wills or Codicils heretofore made by me, and declaring this, 
and none other, as and for my said Last Will.
	In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 
Ninth day of March, in the year nineteen hundred and forty-two.
