Will of William Reeser: In the name of God, Amen, I william Reeser of Augusta Twp in the County of
Northumberland, being admonished by old age and infirmity that the days of my earthly pilgramage are rapidly drawing to a close, but being of Sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all other wills by me heretofor made, and declaring this and no other to be my last will and testament. First and pricipally I commend my spirit into the hands of God who gave it; and my body to the earth to be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner at the discretion of my executors. As to such worldly estate as God has been pleased to bless me with, I dispose of the same in the following manner: I direct all my just debts and funeral expenses to be paid by my executors, as soon after my decease as the same can conveniently be done. I empower my executors, as soon after my death as convenient, to sell and dispose of my plantation and tract of land in Augusta township on which I presentl live at public or private sale and for the best price that can be obtained for the same, either for the whole tract or part, as my executors may judge most advantageous, and to make and execute deeds, to the purchasers for the same. Should my executors be unable to procure for my said plantation, what, in their judgement is a sufficient price for the same, I order and direct them to rent my said plantation on the best terms they can until the same is sold by them. I give and bequeath to MARY ANN BLOOM, one of the daughters of my deceased daughter ELIZABETH, the sum of $100. To DANIEL BLOOM, one of the sons of the siad ELIZABETH, the sum of $100. To ESTHER BYERLEY, and also daughter of said ELIZABETH, the sum of $70 to be paid them out of the proceeds of the sale of my said plantation. After payment of my just debts-funeral expenses-the expenses of settling my estate and the above mentioned legacies, I order and direct the balance of my estate, including the proceeds of the same of my plantation, to be divided equally among my children hereinafter named, first deducting the amount of my account against my deceased son WILLIAM, from the share hereby given to his two children to wit; my son SAMUEL REESER, my son JOHN REESER, deducting from John's share the amont of my account against him to the two children of my deceased son, William ‎(the said two children)‎ to be entitled each to one half of the share that would be coming to my deceased son William, if he were living, deducint, as above?, my son DANIEL REESER, my son DAVID REESER, my son PETER REESER, my daughter Mary, wife of Peter MALICH, my daughter CATHERINE, wife of JOHN YORDY, my daughter JUDITH, wife of John HORN of Ohio, my daughter ANNA, wife of Henryh SHIPE, my daughter ESTHER, wife of George CONRAD and my son JACOB ‎(deducting from my son Jacob's share the amount of my account against him. Should any of the legates above named die before the receipt of their share of my estate, the share of such child shall be equally divided among the children of the deceased child. This is my will, however, and I do expressly enjoin it on my executors not to pay the share hereby bequeathed to be said son Jacob, unless in their opinion it will be applied by him, and for towards the support of himself and his family, and I do hereby authorizemy executors to pay the same to the wife of my said son Jacob, if in their judgement she will make better use of it that my son Jacob and then only in such sums, to either and at such periods as they may consider most prudent. In case of the death of the wife of my son JACOB before the share above bequeathed to him is paid, I authorize my said executors to pay the sum to the guardians of the children of my said son, for their support. I nominate, constitute and appoint my two sons SAMUEL REESER and DAVID REESER to be the executors of this my testament and last will, hereby declaring this and no othr, to be my will. Witness my hand and seal, February q=11, 1845. WILLIAM REESER (seal)‎
