In the name of God, Amen. I, William Farry of the Township of Howell, County of Monmouth, and State of New Jersey, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, make and publish my last Will and Testament as follows:

SECOND. I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Rebecca Farry the use of all my household goods that I may have at the time of my decease during her natural life, I also give and bequeath to my beloved wife Rebecca Farry the use of my real estate and the income from my Bonds and Mortgages and Notes during her natural life, and it is my desire that if my Wife's health is in such a condition that she may need their attention that my daughter Caroline Borden ( wife of Schenck Borden ) and my son, Charles E. Farry shall look after her individual wants, and if such is the case my Executor hereinafter named shall apply the income of my Estate to my daughter and son heretofore named instead of my wifeand that they shall apply the same to her maintainance (sic) while she shall remain in a place of her own choosing, and if my wife so desires the furniture and house and lot can be sold and the Income from the same applied to her maintainance the moneys from the sale of said furniture and house and lot to be invested by my Executor, on first Bond and Mortgage for the benefit of my estate.

FIFTH. It is my Will that in the sale of my real estate that my Executor hereinafter named shall give as good a Deed as I myself could give in my lifetime.
