          I Amelia Haile resident of the county of Alachua and state
          of Florida being of sound mind and disposing memory do
          make and publish this to be my last will and testament

Item 1st  I direct my Executors hereinafter mentioned, to pay out of my estate

          owing at the time of my death

Item 2d   My executors are hereby empowered to sell publicly or
          privately and upon such reasonable terms
          for cash or credits as they may deem best whatever
          real estate I may own at the time of my death and
          they are hereby authorised to convey the same.

Item 3d   I give and bequeath to my son Edward

          the one dated Nov. 12th 1872 for $2940,00 the other
          dated August 1st 1873 for $2169,00.

Item 4th  I direct that all the rest and residue of my 
          estate of every description whatever whether
          real personal or mixed wherever situated, shall
          be divided between my son Columbus Haile, my daughters
          Mary Kenedy, Nellie Haile and Chesnut Haile

          alike

Item 5th  Having heretofore advanced to my grand daughters
          Janet Matheson and Chatharine Schofuled sufficiently
          to equalize them I give them nothing by this will

Item 6th  It is my will that my executors sell all or any of my personal
          estate if by such sale they can better effect a division
          of my estate as herein before provided.

          Haile as executors of this my last will & testament
          without giving security.

          set my hand and affix my seal this the fifth
          day of January Eighteen Hundred and seventy seven
                                            Amelia Haile (L.S.)
