In the name of God Amen. Being of sound mind and memory I make this my last Will and Testament. After my just debts and funeral expenses are paid I give to my beloved wife, all my personal property, horses & cattle, sheep & hogs and all my house-hold and kitchen furniture, my wagon and farming utensils so long as she remains a widow for the maintenance of my children, and when she marries, the remaining property to be equally divided among my children. I make my wife my executor. Given under my hand this 8th day of February 1868.
