understanding,do hereby make,publish and declare this to be
my Last Will and Testament;hereby revoking all other wills
heretofore made by me.
First:I direct the executors of this will here-
inafter named to pay and satisfy rn¥just debts and funeral ex-
penses as soon as conveniently may be done after my death.
Second:I Will,devise and bequeath unto my be-
loved wife,Mattie Conklin,all of my cash,money in bank,money
at interest,proceeds of life insurance policy,stocks,bonds and
other securities which I may have at the time of my decease;also
my horse named Bill,together with buggy,and also all my household
goods and furniture,including safe;to have and to hold all of
the said personal property absolutely and in fee simple.
Third:I Will,devise and bequeath unto my son,
Grover S.Conklin,all of my farming implements and machinery,
wagons,harness and life stock,including the horse named Dick,
but excluding the horse named Bill,which I have given to his
mother in the preceding paragraph.
Fourth:I give~devise and bequeath unto my said
wife and to my said son my Studebaker automobile to be owned by
them jointly and in equal shares.

beloved wife,Mattie Conklin,for and during the ter.m of her nat-
,•......
ural life the exclusive use and enjoyment of the mansion house on
my Morris To\mahip farm hereinafter mentioned,together with the
privilege of yard and garden,with the understanding,however,
that my said son,Grover S.Conklin,is to have the privilege of
residing in that part of the mansion house aforesaid now occupied
by him so long as SUCll arrangement is satisfactory to my said wife;
she having the right to compel him and his family to vacate the
said premises at any time she deems such measure to be desirable
and for the best interests of all parties.
Sixth:I give,devise and bequeath unto my said
son,Grover S.conklin,in fee simple my said farm situate in Mor-
ris Township,nashington County,pennsylvania,containing about
one hundred twenty (120)acres;subject,however,to the life in-
terest in the said house,yard and garden hereinbefore vested in
his mother;and subject,moreover,to the provision and condition
that my said son shall at all times see that his mother is suf-
ficiently and properly furnished with food,clothing,support,
medical attention,fuel and other necessaries of life,as she
may reasonably need or require;which maintenance and support
for her natural life I hereby expressly charge as a lien upon
the said farm so hereby devised to him;and subject,furthermore,
to the condition that my said son will take care of any live stock
which my said wife may own or acquire,free of expense to her.
For his so taking care of her live stock,he is to have the right

due and remainder of my estate of every kind and nature,real,
personal and mixed,I give,devise and bequeath unto my blood
relatives to be divided among them in the proportion prescribed by
the intestate laws of the Commonwealth of pennsylvania,as though
I had died without leaVing any will.

the Borough of Washington,Washington County,pennsylvania,con-
sisting of the house and lot on Victoria street,at either pub-
lic or private sale,and at such time and for such price as to
them shall seem prudent and advisable;hereby authoriZing the

knowledge and deliver a good and sufficient deed of conveyance,

bility on his part for the application of purchase money.I

meet and advisable.The net income or interest from such pro-
..

net corpus to fall into my residuary estate and be distributed as
