to dispose of the property that God has blessed me with, doth this day make ordain & constitute this my last will & testament, that is, after all my just debts & funeral expenses are

paid, my wish & desire is that the residue of my property be disposed of as follows~

1st~ My body to be decently interred in the earth and my soul return to God who gave it.

2~ I give to my three children, Mary Olive Warfield, Isabel Warfield, Jeremiah Warfield & Sarah Jane Foster my entire estate both real & personal of all such as shall be left after my

debts & funeral expenses are paid, to be equally divided between them. The said Sarah Jane Foster being an infant child born & living in my family.

3~ I further wish that Ann Foster who now resides in my family shall continue to do so as long as she may wish, if she remains single and conducts herself prudently and assist in

conducting the affairs of the house & farm, so far as it will be in their interest to do so.

4~ I hereby appoint my friend Lloyd Hackett the Executor of my estate and wish him to see that the intentions of this my last will is carried fully into effect~ Given under my hand
