Will of Louise Charlotte Glauzmann, Lawtey, Bradford Co, FL 1892
9
My Last Will and Testament.
I Louise Charlotte Glauzmann, born in Emmendingen, Baden, Germany, declare to make hereunto my last Will and Testament, that anybody may know what is to be done with my property after I shall have died.
1. All my property which will be found after my death, whatever it may be, what go over into possession of my business partner, Gustave Adolph Drolshagen, in the following terms.
2. The Store in Lawtey. where we live and run our mercantile trade in, belongs to me only with one half, whilst the other half belongs to Mr. Drolshagen. My half and all that belongs to me besides and exclusively shall inherit said Mr. G. A. Drolshagen and shall take possession on the day of my death, and shall use of it all he wants, interest or substance, both of them, during all his lifetime, and nobody shall dare disturb or hinder him in the doing and nobody shall call him to account. But all that will have been left of my property on the day of his death, shall fall back in my family. Those members of my family who don't let him go in his own way, as said above, shall get nothing of my inheritance.
3. The English translation of the opposite Original of my last Will and Testament shall be deemed equally confirmed by my signing as the German Original. But in all doubts and controversies about the meaning of my last Will and Testament there shall be made recurrence to the German text and taken explanation and decision from thence.
4. Codicils to this will which are written or at least signed by my hand shall have have the same value as the will itself.
In testimony I have hereunto set my hand and seal to this my last Will and testament in Lawtey, Florida.
