Will of A. T. Cornatzar - Dated 23 Sep 1943

I, A. T. CORNATZAR, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do make and publish this my last Will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all other testamentary disposition heretofore made by me.

I - I, direct my executor, hereinafter named, to pay all my just and legal debts, including all necessary funeral and burial expenses, out of the first funds that may come into his hands as such executor.

II - I will, devise and bequeath to my three sisters, MRS. FANNIE CORNATZAR PULLEY, MRS. MOLLIE CORNATZAR KEE, MISS TENNIE CORNATZAR; my sister-in-law, MRS. ADA CORNATZAR, and the children of my deceased sister, MRS. NETTIE CORNATZAR DUNGAN, all of my property, of every kind and character, including all notes, time deposit certificates, cash on deposit, cash on person, and everything that I have of every kind, in the following proportions: Each sister gets one fifth of said property, and should either of them predecease me, leaving heirs of her body, then such bodily heirs shall have the share going to such deceased sister; my said sister-in-law gets one fifth of said property and should she predecease me, then her share shall pass to and become the property of her bodily heirs; the children of my deceased sister, MRS. DUNGAN, named above, gets together one fifth of said property, and should either of them predecease me, leaving bodily heirs, then such bodily heirs shall take the part their said parent would have taken if living, and should either of the children of my said sister MRS. DUNGAN predecease me leaving no bodily heirs, then the other of said children shall have the part that would have otherwise gone to such deceased one. Now should either of my said now living sisters pass away, leaving bodily heirs, then the surviving sisters, shall have and take the part that such sister would have taken, if living.

III - Now, before there shall be any division between my said devisees of the property devised to them, I direct that my executor shall reduce all my property to cash, and equally divide such money, after paying all the cost of Administering my estate, together with the debts owing by me.

Now the only exception with respect to my property being all devised and passed under the provisions of this will as herein before set out, is that I do devise, give and bequeath to my relative, Young JOHN IRA HENDERSON, all the stock that I own in the Bells Banking Company, at Bells, Tennessee, and this is a special bequest, and I direct the officers of said banking instution to properly transfer, on the records of said bank, to the said JOHN IRA HENDERSON, all the stock that I own therein, immediately after my death.

Having full faith and confidence in the integrity of my said relative JOHN IRA HENDERSON, I do name and appoint him as executor of this my last will and testament, and he shall not be required to give any bond as such executor. I do realize the fact that he is young and may be in military service at the time it would become necessary for someone to qualify as such executor, and should that occur, or should he be incapacitated or refuse to act as such executor, then I name in his place and stead his father J. W. HENDERSON, who shall likewise not be required to give any bond as such executor.

Witness my hand, this the 23rd day of Sept, 1943

A. T. CORNATZAR
