  and the nett proceeds therof shall be divided by
  them as follows, to wit: I direct that one hundred

  same for and during her natural life. And at her 
  death, I direct that whatsoever may remain of the 
  same shall belong to my daughter Margaret, as
  her sole and absolute property forever. It is likewise
  my will that if my said wife should not be living
  at the time of my decease, the said residency estate
  shall thereupon go to my said daughter Margaret for 
  the use of herself and her heirs forever.
