    Do hereby make this my last will and testament for the purposes of disposing of certain property hereinafter mentioned.

    Whereas I am the owner of one fifth of a tract of land containing two hundred acres in the County of Transylvania on the Balsam Mountain containing a mine of silver, tin, and other valuable metals which mine is known as Glazenor's and Beasley's Silver Mine and whereas I am unwilling that the said valuable property shall be sacrificed by my heirs but on the contrary am desirous that the same shall be judiciously managed so that it will be worth as much as possible to my heirs and the heirs of my father who will share the proceeds of the same. Now therefore I do hereby constitute and appoint B. N. Glazenor and C. M. Gillespie my executors of this my last will and testament.

    And I do hereby devise and bequeath to the said B. N. Glazenor and C. M. Gillespie all my right title and interest in the said land and mines to them and their heirs forever for the purposes of selling the same to the best advantage at such time as they may think best and my said executors after making such sale shall them divided the proceeds of my interest between the heirs of my father and my own heirs according to the terms of the Deed of Lease made to me by me father and bearing date May 16th 1856.

    In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this August the 8 AD 1874.
