blessed me. I therefore make this my last Will and Testament,
hereby revoking and annulling all others heretofore made by me.
Item 1st.
I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent and Christian
like manner, suitable to my circumstances and condition. My soul
I trust shall return to rest with God who gave it, and I hope for eternal
salvation through the blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whose religion
I have professed and as I humbly hope enjoyed for many years.
2nd Item.

wherever and whatever it may be, including that give to my beloved wife
