Pennsylvania being of sound mind, memory and understanding, 
do make and publish this, my last Will and Testament, hereby

all honest debts be paid. 2d. I bequeath to my wife H.A. 
Donham the use of all my estate both personal and real, for 
her natural life or as long as she remains unmarried and if 
at any time the income is not sufficient to supply her 
needs, she is at liberty to use any money or sell any 
property until her needs are supplied.
I also appoint W.E. Donham and Bliss Donham to be her 
guardians. 3. If any of my children desire to borrow the 
estate They can borrow to the amount of eight hundred 
dollars by paying to the guardians of H.A. Donham four per 
ck. per annum.
4. At death or remarriage H.A. Donham the executors will pay 
her funeral expense, and sell all my property at public 
outcry (except such household property as heirs may wish to 
divide. Also Mapletown vein of coal until majority of my 
children see fit to sell it) and collect my assets if any 
and divide the proceeds equally among my heirs M.C. Donham, 
Jno. N. Donham, C.B. Donham, Gertrude Garrison, W.E. Donham 
and Bliss Donham. On final settlement any of these heirs 
owing the estate whether claim is outlawed or not by virtue 
of this will, the principal and interest shall be considered 
as so much of his or her share of my estate.

Bliss Donham to be Executors of this my last Will and 
Testament. In witness whereof, I, D.G. Donham the testator
