BE IT REMEMBERED that I, CHARLOTTE P. DAVIDSON, now living

at #4511 Chester Avenue,   Philadelphia,  Pa.,   but  a resident of Lackawanna
County,   said State, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and under-

standing,   and considering the  uncertainty  of life,  do therefore make,

publish and declare  this  to be my last will and testament,   in manner and

form following,   that is to say:

ITEM.                I  give  to my  sons,  Charles P.  Davidson and George

B.   Davidson,  Ten Thousand            ($10000) Dollars par value  of the  Risley

Lumber Company bonds,   to be  held in trust by them,  nevertheless,  for  the
use and benefit of my daughters, Effie E. Davidson and Mary E. Davidson,
and the said Trustees are authorized to sell  the said bonds and to re-
invest   the fund arising therefrom as in  their judgment they may deem best,

but  they are always  to pay  over to the  said Effie E.   Davidson and Mary E.
Davidson in equal  shares  the income from the said Risley Lumber Company
bonds  or any securities they may invest in with the proceeds of the sale
of the  said Risley Lumber Company bonds;   and if during my life time I
myself should dispose  of the  said Risley Lumber Company bonds  or acquire
other bonds  or securities of any kind,  I give said other bonds or securities

in trust to my said sons,  Charles P.   Davidson and George B.   Davidson,   to be

spouse Anna Elliot Broadwell

held for the  use and benefit  of my said daughters.

ITEM.     The balance  of my personal property I  give and devise,

as nearly equally as possible,   to all my surviving children,  in  the follow-
ing manner: First, I  give  to my daughter,  Effie, my Grandfather's

clock,  and to my daughter,   Mary, my watch and chain,  and of my household
furniture Charles P.   Davidson to have  the first choice of any single
article, Frank the second choice,   Morice  the  third,  and George the fourth.
If more  than  one   of my children shall desire  the  same article,  I wish
its possession decided by lot,  drawing cuts for the  same.

At the death of both of my said daughters the  said trust

shall  terminate,  but it  shall  continue in case  of the death of one for  the
benefit  of  the  survivor,  and in case  of the  death of any  of my children
my estate  shall vest in  the  survivors.

It is my direction and wish that said trustees and executors

shall  file no inventory or account or be required to furnish bonds.

And as to all  the rest,   residue and remainder of my Estate,

real, personal or mixed,   of whatever nature  or kind or wheresoever situate

at the  time  of my decease,  I do hereby give,  devise and bequeath to all

my surviving children share and share alike.

And lastly I do make,   constitute and appoint Charles P.

Davidson and George B.   Davidson  to be the Executors and Trustees of  this

my last will and testament,   hereby revoking all former wills end testa-

ments by me at any time heretofore made and declaring this to be my last

will and testament.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  I have hereunto subscribed my name and

affixed my seal,   the                   17th      day of                 March      in  the year of

our Lord one  thousand nine hundred and eleven.

Signed,  sealed,  published and

declared by  the testatrix within
named,  as and for her last will

and testament,   in  the presence                                                                            (SEAL)

of us,  who at her request,   in
her presence, and in the presence
of each other,   have  hereunto sub¬
scribed our names as witnesses.
