COURTS.
Wills of the Late Amos Morrill, and
Others,


The following is the will of Judge
Morrill, filed in the county court yes
| terday
The last will and testament of
Amos Morrill,, a native of Massachu-
sets and now citizen of Texas, hav-
ing had as places of residence in Texas
the town of GAINESVILLE, the city of
Austin and the city of Galveston.
The property that 1 have is all COM
munity property, the same having
been acquired during my marriage
with M. A. Dickson, and consists of
bonds amounting to upwards of eighty
thousand dollars $3.50, 0OO[ and of prom
issory notes calling for upwards of
$4,000, and of lands of the value of
about $4,000,
One half of this property is legally
and equitably the property of my be-
loved wife, and my will is that it be
so considered and declared. AS we
have no children, and as the property
that my surviving wife will own at
my death will be ample for her sup
port, and for the support and mainte-
nance of those of her relatives who
may need her support and assist
ance, my desire and will is
that out of the half that
1 have the right to dispose of
$1,000 in bonds that may own at my
death, be held by my executors in trust
for Mrs. Sallie Roves the interest
on which is to be paid to her as it falls
due, and the bonds themselves, or the
proceeds OF the sale of them, be hand
ed over and given to her, when my
wife shall so advise, and at The death
of my wife, in case the same shall not
have been delivered previous thereto,
Igive to Mrs. Mary w. Joy, to Mrs.
Sarah E. True and to Mrs. M. A.
Bartlett, my nieses, to each, $1,000.
All the rest and remainder of my
estate 1 give to the descendants of my
two brothers, John and Edward Nor
rill, as follows The estate to be Ill
vided into three equal parts, and one
third part to be given in equal pOr-
lions to the children of my brother
John one third part to be given to
the children of my brother Edward,
ana one third part to be given to the
grand children of my sister
Eliza. The children of my
brother John are Edmund Morrill,,
May w. Joy and Sarah E. True; of
my brother Edmund are M. A. Bart
lett and Adam Morrill,. The grand
children of my sister Eliza are the
children of her daughter who moIried
Mr., Charles Evans, whose names 1 do
not distinctly remember.
Should either of the above named
or described legatees die without is
sue before the will shall take effect.
then in that case the portion to which
he or she would be entitled
is to be given to his or
her brothers and sisters. And
to avoid all ambiguity the particular
legacy of 5000 given to parties as
be rein stated is first to be taken from
the estate before division into three
equal parts is to be made. And when
the division into the three parts is
made, then a subdivision of them is to
be made depending upon the number
of the children and grandchildren OF
their ancestor.
1t is further my will and desire that
nothing be required to be done by my
executors of the will, SO far as
relates to any court, except to
have the will admitted to
probate, and that no bond be required
of either of my executors herein
named.
1 appoint as my executors my be-
loved wife, M. A. Morrill,, j. M. Dick
son and Willis Bartlett, of Salisbury,
Massachusetts,, the two last being my
nephews-in-law.
This will is made this 10Th day of
February, at the house of Mrs. Whitis,
in Austin.
(Signed) AMOS MORRILL,.
