242 In the name of God Amen, I Beverly Nelson of the County of Scott and the state of Kentucky, being of sound mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this final and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament. That is to say, first after all my lawful debts are paid and discharged, the residue of my estate real and personal, I give and bequeath to my lowing wife, Sarah Nelson, during the term of her natural life, and I hereby appoint my son, Geo. T. Nelson, agent for her (my wife) to transact all her business for her, and to control all her means for her benefit during her said lifetime. And after death, then I decree that all my estate real and personal be sold and the proceeds of them divided as follows: First to my son, William Nelson and John A. Nelson, and my daughter Harried Ireland, each fifty dollars, then one third of the remainder of my effects to my son Geo. T. Nelson, one third to my daughter Adela Watson, and the remaining third to be equally divided between my grandsons, Geo. L. Watson (son of Adela H. Watson) and William Nelson, Jr. (son of Jno. A. Nelson). I likewise hereby constitute to my said son Geo. T. Nelson, guardian for my said grandson, William Nelson, to control the means thus bequeathed to him by me, until he arrive at the age of twenty one years. But, in the event that my said grandson William Nelson should die before arriving at the age of twenty one years, or any time thereafter should he die in the state of celibacy, I give and bequeath the share herein given to him to my said son Geo. T. Nelson and my said daughter Adela H. Watson, to them and to their heirs forever. I also make constitute and appoint my said son Geo. T. Nelson to be executor of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills by me made.
