Item 1st. It is my will and desire that first of all my funeral expenses and all my just debts be paid

C. Anderson and his heirs. In the event that I survive my brother Daniel, then and in that event it is my will and desire that at my death all my estate of whatever kind both real, personal, and mixed, shall vest absolutely in my beloved Nephew C.
