BE IT REMEMBERED that I, CHARLOTTE P. DAVIDSON, now living

at #4511 Chester Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa., but a resident of Lackawanna
County, said State, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and under-

standing, and considering the uncertainty of life, do therefore make,

publish and declare this to be my last will and testament, in manner and

form following, that is to say:

ITEM. I give to my sons, Charles P. Davidson and George

B. Davidson, Ten Thousand ($10000) Dollars par value of the Risley

Lumber Company bonds, to be held in trust by them, nevertheless, for the
use and benefit of my daughters, Effie E. Davidson and Mary E. Davidson,
and the said Trustees are authorized to sell the said bonds and to re-
invest the fund arising therefrom as in their judgment they may deem best,

but they are always to pay over to the said Effie E. Davidson and Mary E.
Davidson in equal shares the income from the said Risley Lumber Company
bonds or any securities they may invest in with the proceeds of the sale
of the said Risley Lumber Company bonds; and if during my life time I
myself should dispose of the said Risley Lumber Company bonds or acquire
other bonds or securities of any kind, I give said other bonds or securities

in trust to my said sons, Charles P. Davidson and George B. Davidson, to be

spouse Anna Elliot Broadwell

held for the use and benefit of my said daughters.

ITEM. The balance of my personal property I give and devise,

as nearly equally as possible, to all my surviving children, in the follow-
ing manner: First, I give to my daughter, Effie, my Grandfather's

clock, and to my daughter, Mary, my watch and chain, and of my household
furniture Charles P. Davidson to have the first choice of any single
article, Frank the second choice, Morice the third, and George the fourth.
If more than one of my children shall desire the same article, I wish
its possession decided by lot, drawing cuts for the same.

At the death of both of my said daughters the said trust

shall terminate, but it shall continue in case of the death of one for the
benefit of the survivor, and in case of the death of any of my children
my estate shall vest in the survivors.

It is my direction and wish that said trustees and executors

shall file no inventory or account or be required to furnish bonds.

And as to all the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate,

real, personal or mixed, of whatever nature or kind or wheresoever situate

at the time of my decease, I do hereby give, devise and bequeath to all

my surviving children share and share alike.

And lastly I do make, constitute and appoint Charles P.

Davidson and George B. Davidson to be the Executors and Trustees of this

my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills end testa-

ments by me at any time heretofore made and declaring this to be my last

will and testament.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and

affixed my seal, the 17th day of March in the year of

our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eleven.

Signed, sealed, published and

declared by the testatrix within
named, as and for her last will

and testament, in the presence                                                                             (SEAL)

of us, who at her request, in
her presence, and in the presence
of each other, have hereunto sub–
scribed our names as witnesses.
