I suggest that the sum of $10,000.00 Ten Thousand Dollars be set aside, & held in trust for the use of Irene J. (White) Courson, whom my wife raised. From the fact that her eyes are in such condition that she might in the future be entirely dependent on others, I wish this amount to be carefully protected, That in case she should be dependent, she will have the interest for her keeping, and at no time shall more than 20 per cent of it be invested in Real Estate for a home, and the Trustee is authorized to do so, if thought wise, And the trustee shall have power to reconvert it into cash, when thought best, and when she no long- er needs it for comfort, it shall go to her children. 4" I also wish or suggest $500.00 Five Hundred Dollars be given my namesake Robert Wylie Courson. 5th.

The Board of Home Missions The Board of Foreign Missions The Board of Church Extension The Board of Ministerial Relief The Board of Freedmens Mission.

From the fact that her eyes are in such condition that she m~ght in the future be entirely dependent on others, I wish this amount to be carefully protected.

On December 10, 1923, at No. 29, November Terr~, 1923, in the Orphans' Court of Washington County, Penna., The First National Bank of Washington was appointed Trustee to carry out the provisions of this Trust.
