You have many valuable assets that should be given away to someone ? Why don’t you make a will disposing of them?” “You are right; we will make a will. Come tomorrow at this time; we will be ready for you to put the seal on the will.” We puzzled long over just who should be our heirs ' , but finally decided that: To Mr. Cook and Mr. Ellison we would will the right to be the overseers of L.
