same as follows viz:

By the will of my husband, John O'Neal, I was bequeathed the sum of $1500.00 
which has not been paid, and which bequest will form part of my estate after my 
death to be collected from my said husbands real estate. I give devise and 
bequeath, free and clear of transfer inheritance tax, this $1500.00 bequest and 
all my right, title and interest in the estate of John O'Neal, my deceased 
husband, to my daughter Grace O'Neal.

I also give, devise and bequeath to my daughter, Grace O'Neal, free and clear of 
transfer inheritance tax, the sum of $500.00 in cash, my heater, my bronze 
colored bed, springs and mattress, and any or all of the bed clothes that she 
may desire.

I give, devise and bequeath to my granddaughter, Grace Means, free and clear of 
transfer inheritance tax, the sum of $500.00 in cash.

All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real and personal, of 
whatsoever nature and wheresoever located, I give, devise and bequeath in equal 
shares to Hughes O'Neal, Elwood O'Neal, Irvin O'Neal, Marshall O'Neal, Grace 
O'Neal, Edgar O'Neal and Grace Means.

And I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, Grace O'Neal, 
Executrix of this, my last will and testament. In witness whereof, I, Alice D. 
O'Neal the testatrix, have to this, my will, written on one sheet of paper, set 
my hand and seal, this 6th day of November A.D. One Thousand Nine Hundred and 
thirty six.
