2nd. I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Permelia Quire my entire estate both real, personal and mixed during her natural life to make use of and control in any way and
manner she may think most advisable to her interest and that my daughter Mahaly Quire to live with her and to enjoy the benefits of the property equally with her mother so
long as she chooses to do so, and after the death of my wife, any wish is that all such property as may remain to be equally divided between all my children, by the exception
of Mahaly. I give her fifty dollars more that any of the rest in consequence of bad health.
