September 13th, 1883

I Jacob R. Clark feeling the infirmities of Old age but having my reasoning
powers of mind do hereby make this my last will and testament, knowing that
my time on Earth is short.

ITEM 1.  I request that all my just debts and my funeral expenses shall be
fully paid.

ITEM 2.  I give and bequeath to my neice Mary Ann Frank, my personal property
now in her possession (except my Bureau and its contents which I bequeath to
my neice Martha Jane Miller.)

ITEM 3.  I also give Mary Ann Frank on hundred dollars (being the note she
now holds for that amount.)

ITEM 4.  If one hundred dollars can be saved I give it in trust to the Baptist
Church of which I am a member, the interest of which is to be paid, annually,
on the pastor's salary, and is to be properly secured, and used for no other
purpose.

ITEM 5.  I wish to be buried in the graveyard near the remains of my sister
Mary A. Robins.

I declare this to be my last will and I revoke all other will heretofore 
made by me.

						Jacob R. Clark

I appoint my Brother in Christ Peter R. Willour my executor of the 
aforesaid will.

Witness at Signing in our presense,

John Shivelhood
