Typescript of will: Know all men by these presents that I Thomas Nelson of Malden, Mass., do make, ordain, publish and declare this instrument as and for my last will and testament, revoking any and all other wills by me heretofore made.
First; it is my will that as soon as may be after my decease all my just debts and funeral charges be paid.
I hereby nominate and appoint my daughter Mary R. Nelson sole executrix of this my last will and testament, and it is my desire that she not be required to give bonds of any description in Probate Court. It is also my will that she have sole control of all my real and personal property that I may have at my decease. It is my will that she have power to dispose of any part of my property whenever she deems it for the interest of all to do so; also to invest and reinvest as she may think best. I give to my daughter Mary R. Nelson, for her faithful services to the entire family, my four Boston and Albany Railroad Bonds, also my two City of Providence Water Bonds. But if I should dispose of them before my decease it is my will that she is to take six thousand dollars from my estate as her personal property. It is my will that the income from the remainder of my estate be equally divided between my three children, Mary, Eugene, and Florence. If either of my children should die and leave no issue then their portion is to be divided between the surviving ones, but if they leave issue then it must be given to that issue.
It is my will that my property be equally divided when my son Eugene is thirty years old; and I hope you will all be very careful of it for your mother and myself have worked hard to save it for you. I would advise my daughters always to keep it in their own names and never risk it in any business.
If all of my children should die without leaving issue or a will it is my will that what is left of my estate should go to the children of Peter J. and Eliza W. Hassard of Bangor, Maine and under no condition allow my nephew Thomas S. Nelson to have one cent of my money.
In case my daughter Mary should die before my estate is divided, I hereby nominate and appoint my son Eugene as executor of this will.
In witness whereof, I hereto set my hand and seal on this the twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and eighty three.
Thomas Nelson (Seal)
Signed, sealed, published and declared as his last will and testament, by the above named Thomas Nelson, in our presence, who in his presence, in the presence of each other and at his request, hereto subscribed our names as witnesses.
