Will of SAMSON DEES, deceased
The last will and testament of Samson Dees, of Palma, Marshall County,
Kentucky. First, after the payment of all my debts, I give, devise and bequeath out
of my estate and wheresoever situated of which I am seized, possessed or
entitled to each of my six children, namely, Bluford Dees, L. S. Dees, E. W. Dees,
R. H. Dees, E. C. Dees, and Ida C. McMertry, fifty dollars. Also to my
granddaughter, Hurdie English, daughter of my son James, deceased, twenty dollars.
And to my grandchildren Jeffie Dees and Sarah Dees, son and daughter of my son
Jeff Dees, deceased, ten dollars each, all of the above distribution to be made
soon after my death. Second, the remainder of my entire estate, both real and
personal, I give, devise and bequeath to my wife Rachel C. Dees, she to have
full, complete control and possession of all, both real and personal, to
dispose of same as she may see proper and right, for her benefit and maintenance,
other than by will, and to use the same the remainder of her natural life.
Third, at the death of my wife Rachel C. Dees, seventy-five percent of all
property, both real and personal, remaining in her possession, I give, devise and
bequeath equally to my six children now living, and twenty-five percent to be
equally divided between my grandchildren, save and except in the case of one
grandchild, namely, Ruda Dees, son of Bluford Dees. I give and bequeath to him at
the final distribution of all my property, five dollars. Fourth, in the event
of the death of any one or more of my children now living and leaving minor
heirs, those that are living shall select one of the family to take charge of
and manage the legacy after giving bond for same, and pay over to those who may
marry or when they shall arrive at legal age. Fifth, I hereby revoke all other
wills, testaments, dispositions of my property by me at any time heretofore
made, and that this only is my last will and testament. In witness whereof, I
have hereunto set my hand and seal this the 1st day of November 1898.
