I Adam Zentz of the County of Stark and State of Ohio, do
hereby make and publish this, my last Will and Testament hereby revoking
and annulling all former wills by me made.
1st I give and devise to my daughter Barbara, the possession, control & income
of the Farm on which I now live, for the period of one year after my decease, together
with the use of all the Horses, Cattle, Hogs, Sheep, and fowls, as well as the use
of all the farming utensils, during said period of one year; and all that my said
daughter may make by the use of said farm, and chattles, during said
period, shall ensure to her especial benefits my said daughter shall also
have all the crops that may be upon the farm at the time of my
decease, whether in the ground or in the Grainary; as well as the
increase of the live stock, during the period of one year after my decease;
my said daughter shall also be permitted to harvest and take away any
crop that she may have growing upon said farm, when her period of
tennancy may expire -- and also, the use of the Barn to house and
thresh any such crops -- It is further my desire that my said daughter
should have the cooking stove which is now in the Kitchen, also a clock
and looking glass that is now in the house, together with as many
items of Kitchen furniture as she may choose to select from the stock
on hand at the time of my decease, together with the tin plate wood
stove in the setting Room.
2d I give and devise to my Grand Son Jacob Brown, a good young
horse, Saddle and Bridle, or in lieu thereof, One Hundred Dollars
also a good Fether [underlined] Bed & Bedding, together with the sum of Three
Hundred Dollars, which sum, my Executors shall invest at interest
which interest shall be payable annually, with mortgage security,
until my said Grand Son shall have gained his majority.
3d It is my wish and desire, that out of the first money that flows into
the hands of my Executors, my son Frederick should receive the sum of [last 6 words underlined]
Five Hundred Dollars, and that all my children should then be made [last 3 words underlined]
Equal to this amount [last 4 words underlined] I having heretofore given some of them larger and
smaller amounts; which their Receipts therefor will more fully exem-
plify, and to which reference is here made.
4th It is further my will and desire that the residue of all my Real and [underlined beginning with "that"]
personal property should be divided Equally amongst my 7 children [all underlined] , after my
honest and bona fide debts shall have been fully paid.
5th It is further my will and desire, that one year after my decease, my
executors hereinafter named, or their successors, that all my property,
Real and personal, should be sold to the best advantage, and distributed
according to the foregoing bequests, saving and excepting the foregoing
reservations.
6th And finally, I do hereby nominate and appoint my Son Adam Zentz
Jr and my Son in law Samuel Ringer, my Executors, of this my last
will and testament, hereby authorizing and empowering them to
