I, SUSAN G. WHITE hereby make and publish this my last will and Testament

Item 1st Let all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid.

Item 2nd Being the owner of Twelve (12) shares of the stock of the Boston & Main Rail-Road and Thirty-Two (32) shares of the Stock of the Pennsylvania Central Rail-road, I give and bequeath to my daughter EMMA BURBANK wife of P. M. BURBANK Seven (7) shares of the Stock of the Boston & Main Rail-road and Seventeen shares of the stock of the Pennsylvania Central Rail Road.

Item 3rd I give and bequeath to my daughter MIRA P. PARR wife of Dr. R. C. PARR Five (5) shares of the Stock of the Boston and Maine Rail-road, and Fifteen (15) shares of the stock of the Pennsylvania Central Rail-road. The above rail road stock is to vest absolutely in my said daughters and is not to be subject to the control of or liable for the debts of their present or any future husband, they or either of them may have; and while I do not hereby intend to positively control the stock thus bequeathed, I solemnly advise them as the is a safe and profitable investment the same remain using only the income, unless in case of necessity for the Education or well fare of their children, and I specially deprecate its sale for the purpose of speculation or mercantile ventures.

Item 4TH - All the rest and residue of my estate I give and bequeath to my said daughter, the said EMMA BURBANK, to be hers absolutely.

The only reason why I make a difference in the distribution of my estate, is the fact; that my daughter MIRA P. had better and more expensive educational advantages than my daughter EMMA.

I hereby nominate and appoint my daughter MIRA P. PARR Executrix of this my last will and testament. Apr. 11th 1882

MRS. SUSAN G. WHITE
