maintenance of the graves of Dr. Albert W. Roberts and myself in the Alder
Branch Cemetery, in Sevier County, Tennessee, which fund shall be

Tenn., and his sucessors in that office, as Trustee. The Trustee shall have
full power and discretion to invest, and reinvest this fund, and shall from
time to time pay the proceeds or earnings, therefrom to the Trustees of the
Alder Branch Cemetery for the purposes herein above set out.

3. I likewise direct that One Thousand Dollars ($1000.00) of my investment

in the Seven Islands Cemetery in Knox County, Tennessee, the proceeds
therefrom to be expended for such purpose by my nephew J.W. (Williams)
Hines, who shall have full power and authority to appoint his successor, or
successors, in Trust.

4. I give and bequeath to my brother J. W. Williams, the sum of Two Thousand
Dollars, ($2000.00) from my personal estate, provided that so much remains
aftr the payment of my just debts and taxes and costs of administration, and
the Trusts set up in Items 2 and 3 above; but this bequest is conditioned
upon the said J.W. Williams surviving me.

family, which his sisters, or either of them, may have if they desire them.
There are also certain pieces of furniture which were made by my father, and
which I desire certain of my nieces and nephews to have, and which I have
listed in an inventory which is placed with this will and which is made a
part hereof by reference.

6. In accordance with the wishes of my late husband, Dr. Albert W. Roberts,
the stock in the Southern Industrial Bank of Knoxville, Tennessee, and any
funds to my credit therein, go to my nephew James H. Hines at my death.

7. I give, devise, and bequeath to my nephew J. W. (Williams) Hines the
homeplace on East Main Street, in Sevierville, Tennessee, including the
office building and the entire lot, to be his absolutely in fee simple.

8. All the rest and residue of my estate, not herein otherwise disposed of,
I give, devise, and bequeath to the said J.W. Hines; and I direct that he be
