property as herein directed, it is my desire that all my

desire that the bequest to Ella N. Barr shall revert to 
my estate in the event that she should die before coming 
into possession of same.

V

Fletcher one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00), and it 
is my will that the said W. H. Fletcher shall hold said 
sum as Trustee for my son William Grizzard, and on the 
death of the said William Grizzard, it is my desire that 
the said sum, or so much thereof as may be necessary, 
shall be expended in defraying his funeral expenses, any 
residue to be paid to his family.

VI

as the executor of this my last will and testament.
