     By the Name of God. Amen.
     I, CHARLES A. ROOT, of the town on Royalton in the County of Niagara and 
State of New York, being of sound mind and memory and considering the 
uncertainty of this frail and transitory life to therefore make, ordain, publish 
and declare this to be my last Will and Testament, that is to say.
     First. After all my lawful debts are paid and descharged, I give and 
bequeath and devise all the property of any manner and nature whether real, 
personal, or mixed of which I may die seized and possessed and which I may own 
at the time of my death whereever situated unto my beloved wife, CORA E. ROOT 
and to her executors, administrators, heirs, and assigns forever. Likewise I 
make, constitute, and appoint my said wife, CORA E. ROOT to be Executrix of this 
my last Will and Testament hereby revoking all former Wills by me made.
     In Witness Whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal 
the sixteenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and 
eighty one.
