First - I hereby appoint Judge Boise of said county, my executor, and enjoin upon him duly to perform the requisitions herein contained. Second - that upon my demise, I enjoin upon my said executor to take possession of my personal property, and my real property in North Salem in said county, and out of the provision of my said personal property to have my body decently interred and my debts paid according to law, and in case the said personal property is insufficient, then to dispose of my real estate in sufficient quantities to discharge said debts. Third - I enjoin upon my executor to pay out of my property to each of my children the sum of five dollars - and after the debts are paid, and said sum to each of my children a legacy - I ordain that the residue of my property, real and personal, be given to my wife Polly Holmes, for her life, to be used and enjoyed by her, and by her at her death disposed of as seemeth to her just or to be disposed of in the due course of law. Fourth - that this instrument may not be construed in any way other than to convey the balance of my property after expenses, debts, and legacies are paid (to Mary Jane, Leonidas, Roxanna, and James, my children) to my said wife. In witness whereof I have hereunto caused my name and seal to be placed at Salem, Oregon this First day of February AD 1862.
