following (that is to say) first and principally I commend my soul into
the hands of Almighty God my Creator, and my body to the earth to be
interred in the Altoona Fairview Cemetery, and as to such worldly
Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to intrust me I dispose of the
same as followeth:
I order that all my just debts, funeral expenses and charges of
proving this my will be in the first place fully paid and satisfied and
after payment thereof and every part thereof I give and bequeath to my
beloved mother Sarah Wolf, and whatever amount my Executor (hereinafter
named) may receive from any Beneficial or Mutual Aid Society or
Association that may be justly due (after paying the debts aforesaid)
shall be handed over to my beloved Mother Sarah Wolf for her sole
benefit and use, all the rest and residue of my personal estate
whatsoever and wheresoever of what nature or kind and quality soever
the same may be and not herein before given and disposed of. I give and
bequeath to my said mother Sarah Wolf to her own use and benefit
absolutely.
I do hereby constitute and appoint my brother John G. Wolf Sole
