HIS WILL.
On the evening Hof the day of the
funeral the custodian OF the will, and
it's executor, M. Hogan, read the docu-
ment to the assembled family. 1t pro-
vldes that all just debts and funeral
expenses be paid. that the proceeds of
his life insurance shall be used for
that purpose; devises ten dol ars to his
son, Lindiey. B. Moore, he already
having received considerable money
from him; devises to his daughter,
Carrie Johnson, ten dollars; to his
grandchildren, William, Charles Ben
nett (Bea) and Frank B. (Bert) Moore
and Mrs, Georgia 6 oggas. s.. 900 each;
directs that these requests be paid at
any time within ten years, and in case
of the death of any of them without
issue, their share shall revert to the
estate; devises the balance of the ee-
tate to the executor and trustee to be
held in trust for the purpose of taking
full charge and control, carrying on
the business, collect all rents, etc., to
sell and dispose of it to best advan
tage and divide it equally between his
daughter, Mrs. Jessie Robertson ana
his granddaug liter, Mrs. Alice A.
Moore Coles; the estate is not to be
sacrihced by undue haste is selling and
converting it, that the legatees may
realize the m ost out of it; at the expi-
ration of ten years any part OF the es-
tate not disposed of shall be divided
between the legatees; M Hogan is con-
stituted and appointed executor and
trustee with plenary power to sell and
convey on such terms and at such
prices as he deems for the best inter-
est of the estate, and requests the pro-
bate court to fix his bond at not more
than 81, 500. The will is dated Febru-
airy rs, 1891, and is witnessed by JO-
seph H. Simonton and G. II. Bennett.
By referance to the will it will be
seen that the executor, Mr.. Hogan, is
clothed with the broadcast discretionary
powers in closing the estate, with ten
years time in which to complete the
trust. Mr.. Hogan has been the con-
fdential advisor and business agent
for Mr.. Moore for many years, and has
a thorough knowledge of the details of
his business, and is therefore peculiar
ly fitted for the responsibility. TO be
entrusted with such unlimited author
ity is certainly very complimentary to
the executor, showing the most expli-
cit confidence is his fidelity and judg-
ment.
