testament in manner and form following to wit:
    Principally and first of all, I commend my Immortal soul into the
hands of Almighty God, who gave it and my Body to the earth, to be
buried in a decent and christianlike manner, at the Discretion of my
Executor herein after named, and as to such worldly estate wherewith it
hath pleased God to bless me in this life, I give and dispose of the
same in the following manner to wit:

Funeral expenses be fully paid and satisfied and as touching all the
rest, residue and remainder of my Estate real and personal in Allegheny
