I Malcom McNabb do make and publish this as my last will and testament hereby revoking and making void all other wills by me at any time made.
 

First. I direct that my funeral expenses and all other debts be paid as soon after my death as possible, out of any money that I may die possessed of or may first come into the hands of my executor.
 

Secondly. I have advanced to my daughter Catherine Wood the sum of five thousand dollars - this amount herein the purchase price of the tract of land conveyed to William Wood. This advancement of five thousand dollars is in full satisfaction of the interest of Catherine Wood in the property real and personal that I may own at the time of my death.
 

Thirdly. I give and bequeath to my son R.A. McNabb and my two daughters Jane McSween and Florence Roberts all the property real and personal and mixed of every description kind and character that I may own or be entitled to at the time of my death and to be divided among them as follows. 1st to my son R.A. McNabb one third of all property I may own or be entitled to at the time of my death. 2nd to my daughter Jane McSween one third of all the property I may own or be entitled to at the time of my

death. 3rd. To my daughter Florence Roberts one third of all property I may own or be entitled to at the time of my death.
 

Fourthly. I hereby appoint my son R.A. McNabb executor of this my last will and testament and invest him with full power and authority to carry the same into effect. If it

should be inconvenient for R.A. McNabb to qualify for executor of this will or if he should fail or refuse to qualify then I nominate and appoint William Wood executor of this will and vest him with full power to execute same. And I direct that all advancements made in my lifetime be collated and my estate distributed with a view to exact equality between the three parties above names - viz.: R.A. McNabb, Jane McSween and Florence Roberts; and I further empower my said executor to sell any real estate I may own at my death and make title to same, and divide the proceeds of sale as above directed, said sale to be made at either private or public sale.
 

Fifthly. It is my purpose and intention to dispose of all my property real and to die intestate to none. And I limit and settle on my daughters above named their bequest to their sole and separate use in exclusion to the marital rights of their said husbands.
 

Given unto my hand this 19th day of Sept. 1888.
