memory and understanding, do make, publish and ordain this as and for my last
will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by me 
at any time heretofore made.

	Imprimis.  I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses be
fully paid and satisfied by my Executrix hereinafter named, as soon as
conveniently may be after my decease; and, that my body be interred in the
Shamokin Cemetery according to the rites and ceremonies of the Presbyterian
Church.

	Item.  I give, devise and bequeath, unto my beloved wife Henrietta
Hodge, all of my property, real, personal and mixed, for and during her
natural life, if she shall so long remain single and retain my name; and, 
that upon her remarriage or death, then and in either event, I give, devise
and bequeath all my property, real, personal and mixed unto my children,
viz: Bessie G. Dinger and Henrietta B. Milbrand, share and share alike; and,
it is my will that upon the decease of either of my said children, that the
share of such child shall go to and descend to the child or children of my
deceased child and that no part of my estate shall go to the husband of
either of my said children at any time, or under and circumstances.

	Lastly.  I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my beloved wife,
Henrietta Hodge, to be the sole Executrix of this my last will and 
Testament, without entering security for the faithful performance of her
duties as such.
