Last Will and Testament of:  J. M. Griffing  Deceased, 1906

Knowing the uncertainty of life, and the certainty of death, I, J. M. Griffing 
of Hamburg, Franklin County, Mississippi being expressly desirous of the future 
welfare of my wife, Elizabeth Griffing, and my daughter, Minnie I. Griffing 
after my decease do hereby give and bequest to my wife Elizabeth Griffing my 
entire tract of land with all appurtenances
Containing one hundred and ten (110) acres of land, for her use and benefit 
during her natural life.  After her decease, I will that Minnie I. Griffing 
shall have the home and land subject to her disposal.  I will to my other 
heirs, L.A. Griffing, W.D. Griffing, E. J. Griffing, Fannie M. Parmeter, J. E. 
Griffing and F. C. Griffing one ($100) dollars each, as they have each and 
every one of them received an equal distribution of my landed estate, while I 
lived.  Let it be understood however, the J. E. Griffing shall receive any 
amount that his mother may see fit to give him from the yearly income of her 
place, after all expenses are paid, until she has paid him an amount 
satisfactory to herself.  If my wife wishes to sell her place at any time, she 
is at liberty to do so with the consent of her daughter Minnie Griffing.  I 
appoint J. E. Griffing sole executor of this my last will and 
testament.
