Will of C. T. Ozment - Dated 19 Oct 1922

I, C. T. OZMENT of Crockett County, Tennessee do make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by me heretofore made.

I appoint my son T. D. OZMENT executor of this my will, and in case he should die in my life time or should decline to act I appoint CHESTER WALTON an executor in his place.

First; I direct that the executor will pay all debts owed by me from the first funds coming into his hands.

Second; I give to my sons heirs, the heirs of J. W. OZMENT Five Dollars.

Third; I request that all my property remaining both personal and real be divided equally among my other children, or their descendents to-wit; Children of HENRY OZMENT, MELVIN OZMENT; Children of ROSA HEATH, SADIE, VERA, and WILLIE BELL; W. C. OZMENT; Children of LUCY LENTS, PERCY and OLENA; G. J. OZMENT; IVIE BEARD, JENNIE LILLIY; BEN OZMENT; KATIE WALTON; T. D. OZMENT.

Fourth; I desire that this division be made without a sale of the real estate if practical, but thinking it will not probably be practical for this to be done I desire it in that case to be sold and proceeds be divided equally among the ten heirs above mentioned.

Fifth; I authorize my executor, if found expedient by him to sell my property, either personal or real, at public or private sale, and to execute and deliver all deeds, instruments of transfer and other writing necessary to pass a proper title thereto.

This Oct. 19th, 1922

I, C. T. OZMENT, of Crockett County, State of Tennessee having heretofore made and published my last will and testament, which bears date of Oct. 19th 1922, do make and declare this a codicil thereto, to-wit;

First, I hereby cancel and annul that part of my said will giving to my daughters MRS. JENNIE LILLY and MRS. IVY BEARD, and my grandson MELVIN OZMENT one-tenth each interest in all of my real estate in the 10th. Dist. Of Crockett Co. Tenn.

I want these two daughters and my said grandson to have a one tenth each interest in my personal property, but on account of certain amounts having been paid to them by my son T. D. OZMENT, which I think covers their interest in the real estate, I do not wish for them to share in my real estate.

Second I give and bequeath to my son T. D. OZMENT three-tenths of all real estate which I have in the 10th Dist. Of Crockett Co. Tenn., This covers my homeplace and other farm near by. I give him this three-tenths in addition to the one-tenth given to him in my will dated Oct. 19th 1922, making a total of four-tenths of all of my real estate that I give to him. In case land is sold I want him to have four-tenths of money received from sale. I do this from the fact that my son T. D. OZMENT has advanced or paid my above mentioned daughters and grandson certain sums of money, that I consider equal to their shares in said real estate.

Third. I hereby appoint my son T. D. OZMENT as executor of my last Will and testament.

I hereby ratify and affirm my said will in all other respects.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
This Feb. 13th 1926
