By the will of my late husband, Edward Dunscomb probate in Nashville, Tennessee and kept with deeds and other papers of mine in the Union Bank and Trust Co. in that city, it will be seen and proved that he considered all we held in common in real estate or in funds of any kind as my property and willed to me exclusively.
I appoint my son, John G. Dunscomb, now residing in the state of New Jersey, Executor of this my will and testament. He is hereby released from any bond or security for the safe conduct of this business and I request that no security be required of him.
I wish to express here my appreciation of the same jointly with that of his father, the late Edward Dunscomb often repeated to me, of his filial solicitude for our welfare and comfort by word and action. In case of his death my son Daniel Dunscomb at present at Toledo Ohio, is to be my Executor under the same provisions.
