BE IT REMEMBERED that I,William H.Binns,of Jefferson
Township,Fayette County,Pennsylvania,believing myself to
be of sound and disposing mind and memory,do make and publisp.
this my last will and testament,hereby revoking and making void
any and all wills by me at any tinle heretofore made.
FIRST:I desire that an inventory and appraisement of all
my estate,real,personal and mixed,be made as soon after my
death as is convenient,by two competent persons to be selected
and appointed by my executors hereinafter named.
SECOND:I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses
be paid out of my estate as soon after my death as may be convenient.
THIRD:I give and bequeath to my grandson,William H.Binns,
Jr.,my gold watch and chain and the sum of Fifty ($50.00)Dollars.
FOURTH:I give and bequeath to my granddaughter,Elma E.
Binns,the Paisley Shawl which was formerly the property of my wife,
and the sum of Fifty ($50.00)Dollars.

EIGHTH:I give and bequeath to our housekeeper,Ustie
Uchelvich,the sum of One hundred ($lOO.OO)Dollars,in consideration
of her faithful serVices,only in case,however,she remains our
housekeeper until my death.
•
NINTH:I give and bequeath to my nephew,Charles S.Binns,
the use of,and income from that part of my house and lot at No.
98 Warren Street,Columbus,Ohio,now used by him,so long as he
may live and occupy the same,said Charles to be liable for all
expense for taxes and repairs.And if the said Charles should at
any time prefer to live elsewhere,my executors may rent said house
and lot and pay the income therefrom,less said expenses,to the
said Charles S.Binns,so long as he may live;or,in such case,
my said executors may,at their discretion,sell and dispose of said
house and lot,invest the proceeds of such s ale in sound interest
bearing securities,and pay such interest,less any proper expenses
thereon,to the said Charles S.Binns.And if the said house and
lot,or the proceeds or any part of the proceeds of the sale
thereof,shall remain after said Charles'death,the same shall
revert to and become a part of my residuary estate.
TENTH:I give and bequeath to my son,David H.Binns,all
interest I may hold at the time of my death in any and all house-
hold furniture,farm implements and livestock in or about the home
farm,with the request that he divide some portion of the same
(having particular reference to family heirlooms,etc),to and among
his brothers,Willits,James and Benjamin.And I have full confidence
tha.t my four sons will effect such distribution amicably and to the
satisfaction of all parties at interest.
ELEVENTH:All the rest,residue and remainder of my estate,
of whatsoever kind and wheresoever situate,I give,devise and
bequeath to my four sons,Willits C.Binns,James G.Binns,
.....
Benj~in G.Binns and David H.Binns,share and share alike,the
same to be distributed in cash or in kind,as my executors may
think most advisable.
TWELFTH:I desire that in case my executors are not ready to
make complete settlement of my estate within the lawful time limit
required,they be allowed a longer time,as certain of my properties,
such as coal lands and rea estate,may require this delay.However,
it is my wish that all special legacies herein made shall be paid,
without any deduction for taxes or otherwise,as soon after my
decease as may be possible.And also that such portion of residuary
bequests as can be,be paid as soon after my death as is convenient.
It is my desire and I hereby direct that my executors be not
required to file an inventory and appraisement,nor account in any
way or manner to the courts,but simply that an appraisement and
account be made and presented to my residuary legatees for their
inspection and approval.
My further desire is that my executors take and accept the
sum of One hundred ($100.00)Dollars each for their services as
executors of this my last will and testament,and that their settle-
ment of my estate be accepted by my heirs in an agreeable and
satisfactory manner.
THIRTEENTH:I hereby nominate and appoint my two sons,James G.
Binns and David H.Binns,to be the executors of this my last will
and testament,and I hereby authorize and empower them to sell and
..-
dispose of such of my real estate and personal property as they
may think best so to do,at either public or private sale,and
to make and execute all such deed,deeds or instruments of
writing therefor as will be necessary for the transfer of the
same,and also to do and perform all other matters and things
necessary for the complete settlement of my estate.
IN WITNESS MHEREOF,I have hereunto set my hand and seal
this 9th day of January,1932.

testator as and for his last will and testament,in our presence,
