In the name of the Benevolent father of All, I Christian Court of Fairfield
County in the state of Ohio do make and publish this my last will and testament:
First: It is my will that my just debts and all charges be paid out of my
estate.
Item First: I give and devise to my beloved wife in lieu of her dower the farm
on which we now reside situated in Berne Township, Fairfield County and State
of Ohio Containing one hundred acres during her natural life and all the stock
household goods and chattels which may be thereon at the time of my decease
during her natural life as aforesaid (She however selling so much thereof as
may be sufficient to pay my just debts). At the death of my said wife the real
estate aforesaid and the house and lot in Basil, Fairfield County, Ohio I give
and devise to my three sons Christian, Frederick, and Jacob and their heirs.
Item Second: I give and devise to my daughter Mary Knecht the sum of one
hundred and forty five dollars, her share in full and to be paid to her by my
sons after the death of my beloved wife.
It is my wish that my son Christian should have one hundred dollars more that
each of the other two sons out of the real estate above named. I do hereby
nominate and appoint my three sons Christian, Frederick, and Jacob with George
Hom and if George Hom should die before my beloved wife then John Hom Executors
of this my last will and testament: hereby authorizing and empowering them to
compromise adjust release and discharge in such manner as they may deem proper
the debts and claims due me. I do also authorize and empower them, if it shall
become necessary in order to pay my debts, to sell by private sale or in such
manner upon such terms of credit or otherwise as they may think proper, all or
any part of my real estate and deeds to purchasers to execute acknowledge and
deliver in fee simple.

In testimony hereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 2nd day of
September in the year 1863.
