Chellie Jane Boyett's Will

     In view of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, I make this my last will hereby revoking all former wills.

     I will my brother, W. T. Boyett, my undivided interest in home place upon which we now reside, my interest being nearly one fifth of the place, Consisting of my inherited interest from my father and two sisters who have died without issue.  Also a small tract of land inherited from my Aunt Parthena Boyett Situated on both sides of the Mooresville, Tenn. Aisle [looks like; is this word correct??]   After my debts are all paid I want my personal property divided equally between my brother Jesse Boytt, Pricilla Owenby, and  Florine [wording??] Boyett except my household furniture and clothing.  I direct my brothers Jesse and W. T. Boyett to divide as suits them.  And I hereby appoint W. T. Boyett to execute this will.
