In the name of God, Amen.  The first day of March, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty six, I, George Foye, of 
Lower Augusta, Northumberland County, State of Pennsylvania, I George
Foye being through the blessing of God, in sound state of mind and
memory, but calling to mind the frail tenure of life, and that it is
appointed to all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will
and testament, that is to say, principally and first of all, I commend
my soul into the hands of Almighty God, who gave it me, and the disposal
of my body I leave to the entire will and discretion of my family.

	With respect to my worldly estate, I give, bequeath, and dispose
of it in the manner here following--First, I give and bequeath to my
dearly beloved wife, Catharine, all my personal property and real
estate to hold and keep or to dispose of the same and use the same to 
her's and the childrens' best interests and support, after debts and 
funeral expenses are paid out of the same.  If there shall not be money
enough to pay debts and expenses, then it is my will that my wife
Catharine shall sell enough personal property to pay the deficiency.
My beloved wife Catharine is to have all of my earthly possessions
during the time she remains my widow but if she gets married again, 
then all my property personal and real, or the proceeds derived therefrom
shall be equally divided between my four children, Viz: My dear son
John F. Foy shall have one fourth, My dear son Amon Foye one fourth, My
dear son Andrew Foye one fourth, My dear daughter Sara Jane Foye one
fourth.  This is my first and last will and testament.

	In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, the day
and year above written.

Signed, sealed, pronounced, and
declared, by the said George Foye,
as his first and last will and
testament, in the presense of us,
the subscribers.
