Third..I hereby revoke all former wills by me made.

Fourth..I hereby give, devise and bequeath unto my beloved daughter Martha DeFrance the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) provided that she survives me, in case she should not survive me, then in that event, the said sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) shall go to my beloved son, John A. Davies, this in addition to the bequest to said John A. Davies hereinafter set out.

Fifth..I hereby give devise and bequeath unto my beloved son John A. Davies the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200).

Sixth..To my daughter Elvira Davies, I hereby give, devise and bequeath the sum of Ten Dollars ($10)

Seventh..All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever kind and nature, and wheresoever situated, I give, devise and bequeath until my beloved children, Jennie Davies McClymonds, Charles W. Davies and Mary Davies Smith, share and share alike.

Eighth..I hereby nominate and appoint L. T. Jacks, executor of this my last will and Testament, to serve with L. T. J. bonds, either upon sale of real property or otherwise.

It is my wish that should any of my estates located in the state of Iowa at the time of my death, or my executor L. T. Jacks deem it necessary to have an Executor appointed in the state of Iowa to carry out the terms of this will, that my friend William M. Lamb be appointed such executor to serve without bonds either upon sale of real property or other wise. It is my wish that Mr. William M. Lamb be consulted with reference to the business of said estate if it be found necessary.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 2nd day of December, 1921.
