    ITEM ONE. It is my desire that my wife, Louise Sublette Perry, if she be living at the time of my death - if not, my executor hereinafter named - shall give my body a decent burial, out of the first money which may come into her hands belonging to my estate.

    ITEM TWO. I give, devise and bequeath all my personal, real and mixed property to my beloved wife, Louise Sublette Perry, to be hers absolutely, if she be living at the time of my death.

    ITEM THREE. If my wife predeceases me, or if we die simultaneously, I give, devise and bequeath all my real, personal and mixed property to my daughter, Margaret Perry, to be hers unconditionally and in fee simple, provided she have issue capable of inheriting; if she does not have issue, the property is to be hers for life, and at her death it is to revert to my nearest blood relatives.

And it is my desire that my sister-in-law, Florence, take Margaret Perry - if my wife is not living at the time of my death - and rear, educate, and care for her, and use what money and property, that in the guardian’s discretion is necessary for the care and training of my daughter, Margaret Perry.

    ITEM FIVE. I hereby appoint and constitute my wife, Louise Sublette Perry, my lawful executrix, if she is living at the time of my death. If she is not living at that time, I appoint and constitute my sister-in-law, Florence Sublette, my executrix, to execute this my last will and testament, according to the true intent and meaning of the same, and every part and clause thereof, hereby revoking and declaring void all other wills and testaments by me heretofore made.

    In Witness Whereof, I, Oliver C. Perry, do hereunto set my hand and seal, this the 8 day of July, 1937.
