The will was written in 1907 and the
next year, it appears, General Phillips
and the sons of Colonel Trammell
voted against Governor Brown. The
will was then changed by the addition
of the following codicil on the 9th of
June, 1908, five days after the primary
OF that year:
Owing to the fact that Colonel Will
liam Phillips and his brother and the
sons of Colonel Leander n. Trammell
did not support my brother, Joseph
| M. Brown, in his recent campaign for
nomination for the office of governor
OF Georgia, | find that the Phillips and
Trammell families are not the friends
of my father and his family that sup
posed them to be when | executed nv
will, and hereby revoke, annul and
make void all provisions for monu-
ment to General William Phillips and
Colonel Leander N. Trammell provid-
ed for in the seventh clause OF the pre-
amble and item nine of my said will
do not wish any of my money used
to build monuments to Them"
