               Be it Remembered, that on the 8th day of Nov. A.D.
1897 before me, Frank H. Rosboro, Register for the Probate of Wills
and Granting Letters of Administration in and for said County, came
J. Allen Hubbs and O.K. Taylor, subscribing witnesses to the
foregoing Instrument of Writing, purporting to be the last Will and
Testament of Daniel Campbell, deceased, who being duly sworn 
according to law, did each depose and say that the said Daniel
Campbell acknowledged to have signed and sealed the foregoing 
Instrument of Writing, and heard him declare the same to be his last
Will and Testament when of sound and disposing mind and memory to the
best of their belief.  That they signed their names as Witnesses
thereto by the request of the said Testator in his presence.  That
they know of no undue influence being used in making said Will or any
later Will made.
