re-set according to the wishes of the legatees.

which a tree now stands; and to my sister Catherine H. LaTrace I give one-half
of the remaining portion of said lot, this being the northwest quarter of the
lot where her husband is now buried;  and the remainder of my property, real

nephew, George H. Angell, and my niece, Mabel J. Angell, who are heirs to my
late brother, George R. Angell, and whom I wish to share the fifth part of my
remaining estate that would have fallen to him had he survived me.  And in
case of the death of Andrew S. Angell, or Catherine H. LaTrace, or Cecelia A.
Turpin or Harriet A. Stone before receiving his or her one-fifth of such
remainder of my estate, I order that the share of the deceased parent shall be
divided equally between his or her children surviving, share and share alike.

sisters and their children any personal effects not before directly named,
such as furniture, clothing, jewels and ornaments I may die possessed of.

Turpin of Rochester, NY as the executors of this my last Will and Testament,
and as trustees to carry out the provisions thereof, and I do give them full
power and authority to sell or convey, lease or mortgage any real estate I may
die possessed of, and to invest any funds which may come into their hands as 
Executors pending the settlement of my estate, as heretofore provided.

I also direct that no security or bond shall be required of said Executors or 
Trustees, and the remainder of my estate shall be divided as soon as possible 
after my decease, and no unnecessaary delay shall be made in the settlement,
as provided.

Hereby revoking any will at any time hertofore made, I declare this to be my
