I, John Brady of the town of Bombay, County of Franklin and State of New York, do
make, ordain, publish and declare this to be my last Will and Testament, in manner

First- I direct the payment of my just debts, if any. 

Second- I give and bequeath to and unto my beloved wife, Ellen Brady, all of my
personal property of every name and kind whatsoever to have and to hold the same
to her and her representatives and assigns forever. 

Third- I bequeath and devise unto my said wife, Ellen all my real estate
wheresoever situate or being, to have and to hold the same for and during the term
of her natural life. Fourth- Subject to the foregoing provisions of my Will and
the life estate hereby created I give, devise and bequeath the following sums to
wit.
To my daughter, Margaret Barry, Fifty dollars.
To my grand-daughter, Lottie Barry, Fifty dollars.
To my daughter, Mary Murphy, One hundred twenty-five dollars.
To my daughter, Ellen Nettles, One hundred twenty-five dollars.
To my daughter, Annie McCabe, One hundred fifty dollars.
To my son, Philip Brady, Fifteen hundred dollars, to have and to hold the same to
theirs and their and each of their heirs and assigns forever, which said bequests
shall be paid at the decease of my said wife, or within one year thereafter and
from out the proceeds of my real estate which is devised to my wife during her
life time. In case the avails of my real estate shall be insufficient to pay the
foregoing legacies in full, then each shall be paid in prorata proportion thereof.

Fifth- All the rest residue and remainder of my property and estate I give, devise
and bequeath to and unto my said children herein before named and their heirs and
assigns share and share alike.

Sixth- I hereby authorize and empower my executors herein after named, to sell and
dispose of any and all real estate of which I may die seized that it shall be
needful and necessary to sell and convey to carry out the provisions of this my
Will and to make and execute any and all deeds or instruments of transfer thereof
the same as I might if personally present and acting. It is my desire however that
may son, Philip, take my farm and pay the legacies herein bequeathed and devised
to my said daughters and grand-daughter and keep up the home as I have, after the
decease of my said wife and the lapse of her life estate therein; but in case he
shall be unable or not desirous of so doing, then my second named executor shall
sell and dispose of my said farm and real estate and pay the legacies herein – set
forth from out the proceeds thereof so far as such shall pay their same; and if
not in full then prorate; and if the proceeds of my said farm and real estate
shall exceed the amount of all legacies there the overplus shall be divided
equally among my children herein before named, share and share alike. Where word
“children” is used in this will, my grand-child named is not included. Likewise, I
make, constitute and appoint my wife, Ellen Brady and my friend, James Courtney to
be executors of this, my last Will and Testament, and I hereby revoke all former
wills by me made.
