Last Will and Testament of Andrew J. Moore

    I Andrew J. Moore of Gold Point in the County of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, being at this date of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make and publish this my last will and testament, revoking and annulling all former wills by me at any time made.
I commend my spirit to my merciful Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier, and in the hope of a joyful ressurrection I commit my body in Christian burial to the dust whence it came, directing that it be decently buried.
I direct that out of the proceeds of my estate all my honest debts (if any at the time of my death) be paid, together with a reasonable sum for my proper burial, and including the expenses of administration, shall be paid by my executor.
I am the owner and posessor of one hundred acres of land more or less, situated in the First Dist. Of Hamilton County, Tennessee, purchased by me from the heirs of Bird Thomas. Said land was purchased with the pension money belonging to the children of Ambrose Johnson who were under sixteen years of age at the time of his death, to wit: Hattie Johnson, Charlie Johnson, and Andrew Elijah Johnson, said money was paid by the Government of the United Sates to me as the Guardian of the children aforesaid, and invested in said property for their use and benefit.
In view therefor of the above transaction, I will and bequeath unto Hattie, Charles, and Andrew E. Johnson, children aforementioned, all and severally the above described property.
I hereby appoint executor of this my last and testament, J. C. Rodgers, Sr. but bond and oath is specially waived.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal on this the 26th day of October, 1906.
     Andrew J. Moore
