Transcriber's Note: The following note was on the microfilm for this will: "This image may be illegible due to the condition of the original document." I have transcribed as much of this will as I was able. I believe I have correctly transcribed all of the children's names and the wife's name, but I was unable to make out the executors and all of the witnesses. I would appreciate any input from some one who might have a better copy of this will.
