and declare this my Last Will and Testament in manor and form following that
is to say, Item 1. I will and Bequeth to my loved wife Emeline Miller Rinck my
land whereas I now live together with, all my personal property for her own
use and benefit during her life. If she should remain unmarried, but if she
should marry again, she is not to have claim to the said land and other
property. As for said it is further my will that after death of my said wife,
Emeline, my land together with my property, money and notes then on hand shall
be equally divided among all my lawful heirs to witness. My four children now
present that is to say my daughter Frances E. Rinck, Jane J. Rinck, Sylvanna

increase in number, here after and no provision made in this my will it is my
will that if a child or children be born after my decease that the said child
or children shall inherit an equal share of my estate with all my other
children. And lastly I hereby nominate and appoint my beloved friend Alfred N.
