Will of Alva Allen

I, Alva Allen of the township of Jefferson, County of Fayette and State
of Penna, being of sound mind and disposing memory and knowing the
uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, do make ordain and
publish this the following as my last will and testament hereby revoking
and making void all wills by me at any other time heretofore made. Item
1: To my grandson Alva Wolf I hereby give and bequeathe my watch. Item
2: To my granddaughter Ella Wolf I hereby will and bequeathe the sum of
Fifty ($50) Dollars to be paid to her by my hereinafter named executor
out of the first money available, after the payment of my doctor bills
and funeral expences. Item 3: To my grandson Freddy Allen I hereby will
and bequeathe my gun. Item 4: I hereby order and direct my hereinafter
maned exector to sell at least the surface of my property within one
year from the date of my decease. Should my heirs or a majority of them
think it advisable however that the coal underlying this property be
retained until such time as in their opinion may be more advantageous,
then it is my wish that their wishes in the matter shall determine the
time and manner of sale of said coal, as well as what they shall reguard
as proper rights and priviliges to be given along with said coal to the
purchaser there of. Item 5: As to the proceeds of the sale of my real
estate I hereby order and direct my hereinafter named executor, after
the payment of proper and legitimate expenses, to apply in the following
manner, viz: To my daughter Eliza Thomas, one share: To my son William
Allen on share: To the children of my deceased daughter Frances Virginia
Wolf one share: To my son Alva Lemuel Allen on share: To my dayughter
Amanda Jane Arrison on share. It is my wish that my exector shall pay
the entire amount herein bequeathed to the children of my daughter
Francis Virginis Wolf, to my grandaughter Ella Wolf, she to hold the
same in trust, without bond, for the other children until they become of
age, when she shall pay them their respective shares, retaining her own
equal share therein. And finally I do hereby nominate, constitute and
appoint John N. Wolf, husband of my deceased daughter Francis Virginia
to be the executor of this my last will and testament. In testimony
whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal and declared the foregoing
to be my last will and testament, in the presence of two witnesses this
seventh day of June A.D. 1895.
