ALBERT PALMER BROWNING WILL

     Book:1 Page:432-433 Case 2802
     Filed Dec 29th 1896
     Being of sound mind and disposing memory but desiring while 
     my mental faculties are all clear to make what I think is a proper disposition 
     of all the property I may own at my death, I do hereby declare this to be my 
     last will and testament to wit:

     First: I direct that out of any of my property I may leave at my death that 
     any just debts that I may owe including proper burial expenses shall be paid

     Second: I direct that out of any personal property I may own at my death or 
     out of any real estate I may own at that time (out side of that which is 
     herein often devised to my two sons. Thos E and Chas E Browning) then shall be 
     paid at the earliest convenient date, to my daughter Mrs. Ida L. Moore, wife 
     of Henry Moore, the sum of ($500.00) Five hundred dollars

     Third: I devise to my son Thomas E Browning the land in LaFayette County 
     Mississippi, described as NorthWest (N.W.) quarter (1/4) of Section Twenty (S 
     20) Township Nine (T 9) Range Four (R 4) also the South East Fourth (S.E. 1/4) 
     Section Eighteen (S 18) Township Nine (T 9) Range Four (R 4) less twenty acres 
     out of the SW Corner thereof heretofore sold by Harvey Carothers to J.D. 
     Williams

     Fourth: I devise to Charles E Browning my son, the land in said County and 
     State described as South West (SW1/4) quarter of Section Nineteen (S19) Township 
     Nine (T9) of Range Four (R4) less Eight acres out of North West corner of said 
     quarter, Also the West half (W1/2) of South East Fourth (SE1/4 Section Nineteen 
     (S19) Township Nine (T9) Range Four (R4)

     Fifth: I direct that my wife Mary A Browning shall be provided for during 
     her life or widowhood - she shall have comfortable and proper support and to 
     that end I direct that any personal property of which I may die seized or 
     possessed and any real estate I may own at my death shall stand charged with 
     the payment of and provisions for her such proper maintainance and support. 
     After my daughter Mrs. Ida L Moore has received her legacy of $500.00 above 
     provided for. This legacy to Mrs. Moore shall be paid as above provided for 
     even if it results in requiring the income of the lands devised to my two sons 
     above named to be devoted to their mother's support, the corpus of said realty 
     is not to be sold but the income may be charged with the support of my wife, 
     their mother if the other realty and personally I own turns out to be insuffi-
     cient therefore: if after all my debts are paid and said $500.00 legacy is 
     paid and my wife is properly maintained during her life or widowhood, there 
     remains any personal property or realty not herein divised to my two said 
     sons, then I authorize my said wife to dispose of such remainder as she deems 
     proper. In the event however that my wife should marry again after my death 
     (which I do not suppose she will do) than such personal property or real 
     estate as she has in possession or control by virtue of this will shall be 
     equally divided between all of my children, or between my children & the 
     decendants of such of my children as may have died such decendants taking only 
     their Share.

     Sixth: I hereby constitute and appoint my son Charles E Browning Executor 
     of this my last will and testament and having full confidence in his integrity 
     and ability, I require him to give no bond, but enjoin upon him a faithful 
     discharge of his duties. 
     the 7th day of May 1895
