my son Paul Akey and his heirs forever, the sum of five hundred dollars.

executor here inafter named, to divide the remainder of my estate into five

and in case either Lilbon or Doris die without issue, the survivor take
the whole of such share.

        Fifth. I give nothing to my son Edward Akey on account of money he
already has had of me and for which he still owes, except I give him
such "endebtedness", but nothing more out of my estate.
