and to her heirs and assigns forever, I hereby name
and appoint my dear wife Esther S. Jordan Sole
Executrix of this my Will with full and complete
power of Sale without the order or intervention
of any Court or Judge thereof. It is my further
will and desire that my said Executrix shall
not be required to give any Bond or to make
any report or accounting of her acts and doings

In witness whereof, I have signed and sealed
and published and declare this instrument as
