Buchanan County, Missouri Probate File #3567 for Allen WOMACK Sr.
It is true to the original.
The order given below differs from the order of papers received
from the courthouse. When words are unclear, I've given two
most likely choices divided by a slash mark between them. I used
blank underlines "_" to show letters which weren't clear. Also
I noted in brackets specific problems making transcription
difficult. I used the words "cont'd" to indicate a second or
third page of inventory.
