ENDESLEY



Know all men by these presents that I, ALEXANDER ENDESLEY, being of sound 

mind, and feeble body, and knowing the uncertainty of life and the certainty 

of death do make and publish this my last will and testament revoking all 

wills by med, at any time heretofore, made.



1st I will and bequeath that my executors pay all my just debts and funeral 

expenses out of my personal estate.



2” I will and bequeath to my sons EPHRAIM and FRANK ENDESLEY my tract of land 

known as the CENATH JONES tract on which my son FRANK now lives together with 

what is known as the JAMES ENDESLEY entry to be given them jointly.



3rd I will and bequeath to my son EPHRAIM and my daughters HETTA and LULA my 

tracts of land known as the HACKNEY tract and containing fifty five acres to 

have one third each or share and share alike.



4” I will and bequeath to my son JOHN the residue of my lands, known as MILLS 

or HOWE tract with such small purchases added thereto as are not disposed of 

herein, but on the conditions following: Viz; that my two single daughters 

HETTA and LULA are to have a home at the old homestead as long as they remain 

single or choose to so reside, and provided further that four years from my 

death the said JOHN ENDESLEY (my son) shall pay to my son EPHRAIM ENDESLEY one 

hundred dollars and my son FRANK ENDESLEY fifty dollars, and further pays to 

my grandchildren PEARL and MYRTLE one hundred dollars each when they become 

twenty one years of age. These two children are daughters of my son ALEXANDER 

ENDESLEY and the sums are willed to them instead of their father the said 

ALEXANDER ENDESLEY.



5” I will and bequeath to my daughters MOLLIE BURNETT and CALLIE MAUPIN, out 

of my personal estate three hundred dollars each, in addition to what I have 

already given them.



6” I will and bequeath to my daughters HETTA and LULA, in addition to what is 

heretofore mentioned, two hundred dollars each to be paid out of my personal 

estate.



7” It is my will that after my executors shall have complied with all my 

bequests heretofore made, any reside shall be by them equally divided among 

all my sons and daughters, share and share alike viz: EPHRAIM and FRANK 

ENDESLEY MOLLIE BURNETT, CALLIE MAUPIN HETTA, JOHN, ALEXANDER and LULA ENDESLEY



8” I constitute and appoint my sons EPHRAIM and JOHN ENDESLEY executors of 

this my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my 

hand and seal this December 15th 1897
