Last Will and Testament

I SARAH L PENINGTON, being of sound mind and having a desire to arrange
my affairs while I am able to attend to business; do hereby declair this
instrument to be my last will and testament.
     FIRST
I desire to have my debts paid if there should be any debts at my death
including any expense incident to my last illnes as well as the expense
of my funeral.
Then after all debts are paid, it is my desire and will that the balance
of my estate shall be divided equally between my children or their
heirs.  Their names are, MARY COOPER, (who is dead. But I desire that
her heirs and children share equally their mothers part) MATTIE HALE,
R.W. PENINGTON, SALLIE SELBY, J.T. PENENGTON, CALLIE GREEN, ALICE
WALKER, ANNIE ELLER, HESTER HOWARD, MANDY AMENT and BIRDIE MORRIS.
If I should still own my land at the time of my death it is my desire
that my executor sell it to the best advantage, and apply the proceeds
to my estate.
Finally it is my will that (CANTIR) WALKER and HESTER HOWARD act as my
executors without bond.

Witness my hand this fourteenth day of Dec 1928.
