This is my last will by me written, with my sound mind, the 1st May
1896.
After my death I shall be buried without any display, and all my just
debts shall be paid.
Here it is what my wife and children shall have from me, and how
they shall have it; Here is how my will says.
1st. It is my will. My wife shall have all the Olinger farm, and all that I
have in Wayland, inside and outside, she shall also have.
She shall have after me $500 as soon as she demands it.
2nd. It is my will;- Lea shall have the whole Kelly place, without any
deed. After her it shall go to her children in equal shares. Lea shall have
$1000 to build. If she should die before she builds or will not build, then
shall the $1000 fall back to my wife, and to Menno, and to Fanny, and to
Lidia in equal shares.
Lea shall not have any right to claim any thing more from my property,
only what I here will to her.
My Executor shall hold that money at 6 pct compound interest,
until she builds.
3rd;- It is my will;- Menno shall have the Bob Campbell and the Isaac
Campbell farms, the whole of both places, without any deed, after him, to

equal shares. They shall have no use of it so long as we live. They shall
have the deeds after our death. The rent shall go to my wife yearly; my
wife shall pay the tax and keep up the place.
Should one or both die before they have the deed then shall the land
