 Last Will and Testament of Lucy P Moore
I Lucy P. Moore, of Rochester, N. Y., do hereby declare the following to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made. First. I give and devise to my daughter Marry Pettes Moore, the house and lot in the city of Rochester, where I now reside, known as No. 74 South Fitzhugh street. I also give & bequeath to my said daughter all the personal property in said house of which I die possessed except the pictures, which I direct my executors, hereinafter named, to divide equally among all my children, after consulting with them.
Second. All the rest, residue and remainder of my property, real and personal, I hereby give, devise and bequeath to my said executors in trust nevertheless, to receive the increase, rents and profits thereof, and to sell in such manner, at such time and at such prices as to them may seem for the best interest of my estate, and to divide the proceeds thereof equally among all my children, my son Murray excepted, the issue of a deceased child to take the parent's share. I do not desire my son Murray to share in the division of my said estate for the reason that his father, from whence I derived this property, advanced to him more than his share of the estate would have amounted to had it been divided among all his children.
Third. I hereby appoint my three sons, Edward Mott, Richard Mott and Samuel Prescott, to be the executors of this my Last Will and Testament, and direct that they shall not be required to give bonds for the execution of their duties as such executors. If, for any reason, any one or more of my said executors shall renounce the appointment, or by reason of incapacity, or death, shall fail or cease to act as such executor, the others or other, shall have full power to carry out the provisions of this will.
In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 29th day of March, 1902 Lucy P. Moore
