"State of North Carolina, Madison County. I, D.P. Lamb being of sound
mind, and realizing the shortness of life, do hereby make this my Will
and Testament. I hereby give and bequeath to my son Madison Lamb and to
my daughter Elizabeth Lamb, all my real estate of every description;
also all my personal property and debts that is now owing to me, or may
be owing to me in the future. Said Real Estate & personal property shall
be held by the said Madison Lamb and the said Elizabeth Lamb jointly
together during their term of natural life. And to my daughter Isabell
Barnett I give the sum of $10.00. I would give her more, but she has a
husband and sons who are able to support and care for her. I think it
nothing but just and right in the sight of God and man that I give my
real and personal property to my son Madison Lamb and to my daughter
Elizabeth Lamb from the fact they have given their best part of their
lives working and caring for me and from the further fact neither of
them have ever married and have no children to care for them in their
older days, and I feel it is nothing but just and right that my property
should go to their support. Witness J.P. Wells, W.M. Lawson. {signed} D
.P. Lamb"

The will was probated on 29 April 1926 in Marshall, the county seat of
Madison County.
