Last Will and Testament of Mrs. Sarah J. Harris

State of Arkansas
County of Drew

Know all men by these present that I, Sarah J. Harris of the County and
 State aforesaid, being in feeble health but of sound and 
disposing mind and memory, do hereby declare and publish this as and
 for my last will and testament.

I.  I desire and request that my funeral expenses and all my just debts
 shall first be paid out of my estate.

II.  I devise and bequeath the remainder of my estate both real and 
personal to my beloved children, Nancy L. Cotham, Mollie Nunn,
 Calvin T. Harris and Alice Spencer, share and share alike.


I make no bequest to the children of my beloved son, A. E. Harris, now
 deceased, not because I love them any less than my other 
grandchildren, but because I think that ample provision has already 
been made for them through their father's will, and they have no
 need for the small amount that I would be able to give them.

I constitute and appoint my son, Calvin T. Harris, executor of this my 
last will and testament and ask that he be allowed to administer my
 estate without being required to give bond.

Given under my hand and seal this 28th day of December 1904.
