First, I direct my executor to pay all my just debts and funeral expenses. Item: All my household furniture, beds and bedding, linen and books, I give and bequeth to my infant daughter Caroline and to my husband's daughter, Susan Underhill to be equally divided between them. Item: I give and bequeath to my sister Sarah all my wearing apparel. Item: I give, devise and bequeath to my dear children Alexander and Caroline, the proceeds of all my estate not herein before given or bequeathed to be divided equally between them share and share alike. Said estate consists of building lots situated at the South Westerly corner of Myrtle Avenue and Sandford Street in this City. Which real estate I hereby empower my executor to sell and dispose of at any time or times he in his judgement may consider the most advantageous and out of the proceeds thereof to pay the debts mentioned above, as well as all claims which may justly be against the said lots, and the balance of said proceeds, I direct to be securely invested at interest under the power of my executor, and the share of each to remain at interest until they shall severally attain the age of twenty one years, and the income meanwhile to be applied to their school learning and support. But in case of the death of either of said children before attriving at said age, then it is my will, the survivor on arriving at said age should have the whole of the principal of said proceeds, the interest being applied as stated above. But in case both of said children should not survive their minority, then I give and bequeath their shares of my estate to my husband's children to wit, Silas A, Susan and Albert to be equally divided between them, share and share alike, the same to be invested until they become of age and the income to be applied in the mean time as described above.
Lastly, I constitute and appoint my dear husband Alexander Underhill sole executor of this my last will and testament hereby revoking and annulling all wills by me at any time heretofore made. Witness my hand and seal this twenty eight day of third month one thousand and eight hundred and fifty-four.
