Last Will of Lucretia Franks

I, Lucretia Franks, knowing the uncertainty of human life, and wanting to arrange my business while I yet retain my mind, do make this my last will and testament. I want after my death my son Barnett Weden Franks to have and hold as his own without circumstance the piece of land I bought of D. D. Clements containing near 21 acres more or less. Also my personal property after my debts and funeral expenses and other incidental expenses are settled.
