3rd I therefore give all of my personal property after the payment of my debts to my daughter Ann Culver and I also give to her my homestead where I now live which lot fronts on O’Bannon street and runs south west to the cross street the same width as O’Bannon st to be hers absolutely.
4th This leaves a lot of ground lying back of the lot I gave my daughter Bettie and the one I sold Emily Sale and it is my will and desire that this lot of ground be divided in halves and I give and bequeath to my son Nick Culver the half lying on the North west side to be his in fee simple.
5th My son Ben being of careless and intemperate disposition I give him nothing of my estate but give the remaining half of above lot mentions lying next to the homestead given my daughter Ann to his children Julia & Harriet Culver should either die without heirs the interest of such one to go to the other and in case both die without children being born to them then the lot of ground herein given them to revert to my estate and be divided among all my children.
My devise of my homestead and my personal property to my youngest child Ann Culver is in order to make her equal with the other children and to in some measure compensate her for always living at home and caring for me.
I hereby constitute and appoint my daughter Ann Executrix of this my last will and Testament and require no bond of her. Witness my hand to the above my last will and testament.
