Moye, of said State and County, being of sound and disposing mind and
memory do make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all will
heretofore made by me.
Item I. I
direct that my Executor hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts as
soon after my death as possible. If a sale of any of my property real or
personal, shall become necessary for the purpose of paying my debts my
executor is hereby authorized to sell any of my property at either
public or private sale, as he may see fit, without any court order or
previous advertisement, it being my desire that such debts be paid at
once, without any delay by any application to the courts for any order
of sale.
Item II. I
give and bequeath to my beloved wife Mattie Moye, a life estate in and
to all of my property real and personal of which I am possessed. It is
my wish will and desire that all of my property and my present home and
lands be held and kept by her and for her benefit for and during her
life, and after her death the same to be disposed of as hereinafter
provided.
Item III. I
hereby give and bequeath to my grandson Oliver Hollingsworth the sum of
$500.00 in cash to be delivered and paid to him by my executor as soon
as and not before he reaches his majority. It is my wish and I hereby
direct my executor to sell any or all of my personal property at either
public or private sale and without any order of court for the purpose of
raising the said sum of $500.00 to be paid to my said grandson as soon
as he becomes twenty one years of age and not before that time.
Item IV. I
hereby give and bequeath to my son S.P. Moye, of the lands which I now
own and possess in lots 30, 31 and 2 in the 12th Dist. of
Wilcox County, and lying and adjacent to the lands now held and owned by
my said son the amount of Fourteen (14) acres same to be measured
lengthwise and broadside along and adjacent to the said lands so held
and owned by my said son S.P. Moye.

above mentioned, after measuring off the fourteen acres above mentioned

being the remainder of my present home place and this bequest and gift
being made to the said with the provision that in the event the said
D.G. Moye should die before the death of my said son S.P. Moye above
mentioned, then the said tract herein described in this paragraph shall
become the property of my said son S.P. Moye. It being my wish and
desire that in the event of the death of my said son D. G. Moye before
the death of S.P. Moye then the lands bequeathed to D. G. Moye herein
shall pass to and become the property of my said son S.P. Moye, his
heirs or legal representatives. The purpose of this bequest and
conveyance is to give to my said son only such an interest in and to the
said lands that he may use and enjoy for his own use and benefit and not
such an interest as will pass to his wife and child upon his death but
it being my will and purpose to have the said lands at the death of my
said son D.G. Moye pass to and become the property of my said son S. P.
Moye or his heirs and legal representatives.
Item VI. I
hereby name constitute and appoint my son S.P. Moye my executor of this
my last will and testament and do hereby clothe him with full and
exclusive power to do and perform any and all acts or things as may
become necessary and incident to the discharge of his duties as such

real of personal that my become necessary for the performance of his
duties, in the payments of debts or the payment of the bequest to my
grandson as herein set forth and said sale or sales shall be had and
done by him without any order from court and without any bond or
