In the full recognition of the Existence, the Wisdom and Goodness of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, I, Paton Wilson of the Township of Salem in the County of Henry in the State of Iowa, being in the full possession and use of my faculties of Mind and Understanding but deeply Sensible of the Uncertain duration of life and the inevitable Certainty of Death with the View that my Temporal Affairs May be put in readiness for that Event, so Make, Establish, Publish and Declare This My Last Will and Testament—hereby revoking, annulling and setting aside all Prior or former Will or Wills by Me heretofore Made

That is to Say

Ninth

Tenth

I will and desire that all my children may be made equal in the benefit that I have given them which is to be determined by a book that I have kept relative thereto and then that they shall all share and share alike in the remainder of my Estate.

Eleventh

I further will and bequeath that in the event of consummation of a contract or an agreement that I have made with the Guardian of the heirs of Mary Wilson deceased relative to some Real Estate formerly held by said deceased, then and in that case I will and bequeath to Eliza McGilly wife of John McGilly of the County of Washington and State of Iowa One hundred and fifty dollars.

Twelfth

I order and direct that the disposition of My property be cheerfully acquiesced in by all of the several beneficiaries of this my will and I order and command and direct that should anyone named herein or any claiming under the ??? seek litigation with the view of changing such distribution that from that time any interest he may have under this will cease and the acquiescing ???.

Thirteenth

Finally I do hereby make constitute and appoint my beloved friend Peter Hobson Executor of my last will and testament and having full confidence in his integrity and judgment I hereby Expressly waive his giving bonds for the execution of the trust hereby imposed upon him and I hereby authorize him in disposing of my Real Estate to sell the same either at public or private auction as he may think most advisable and further authorize and desire him to carry out all of contracts and engagements as fully as I could do if living.
