hereby revoking any and all other wills by me heretofore made.

As soon after my death as possible, I direct that all of my just debts including the expenses of

my last sickness and burial, be fully paid and satisfied.

I give to my daughter, Lillian Wederquist out of my estate the sum of $500.00

Of all the rest and residue of my estate both real and personal I hereby give, bequeath and

devise to my son, William Ray Wederquist, the one half interest therein.

The other one-half interest of my estate both real and personal I hereby give, bequeath and

devise to my sons Royce Wederquist and George Wederquist and my daughter Lillian

Wederquist, to be divided between them in three equal parts, share and share alike.

I hereby nominate and appoint C. B. Christy, of Malvern, Iowa, as executor of this, my last will

and testament.

I hereby request the District Court of Mills County, Iowa, or any other court having jurisdiction

to appoint as guardian for my son, William Ray Wederquist, C. B. Christy of Malvern, Iowa.

If any of my four children above mentioned shall not survive me, I then hereby give and

devise and bequeath that share of my estate above given as follows, to-wit: That the same

shall then be given to the legal heirs of the said child or if that one who shall not survive me

left no legal heirs then in that event the amount given to such an one shall then be divided

share and share alike between the others of my children who shall then be living.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand at Malvern, Iowa, on this 19th day of June,
