proved and recorded, a copy of which is hereto annexed and inasmuch as it

executed according to the request of the testator.  We do hereby appoint Jesse

Shook with power to collect and secure all and singular the goods and chattels,
rights and credits, which were of the said Hiram A. Shook at the time of his
death, in whose ever possession the same may be found; and to perform and
fulfill all such duties as may be enjoined upon them by said will so far as
these shall be property and the law charge him, and in general to do and
perform all other things which now are or hereafter may be required of him by
