WILL OF MARY CAMMON
STATE OF GEORGIA

The below was written by Dr. S. E. J. Watson)

TEMPLE, GA., MAY 28, 1910

On the morning of the 28th of May, 1910, I was called to the bedside of Mary Cammon finding that
she could not live but a day or more longer. I told her so. She at once called her husband REESE CAMMON
to her bedside and instructed him to be good to the children, to keep them together, She said also that
I am willing and ready to die but there is one other thing, Reese, I want you to do as quickly as you can
do it. Pay off the mortgage of $127.00 to CAPTAIN SUGGS WHICH he holds against my mules and keep them
if they lie free of any debt or mortgage until my baby CLAUD is a man.

In this Statement, I do not mean to be misunderstood, I love all of my Children and I mean
that each of my children shall share equally in the mules. As CLAUD is the youngest of the children. I
know if you keep the mules clear until he is of age, should he live, then I am sure the mules will serve
each of the other children. She then called each of the children to her bedside and kissed them and bade
them be good boys and girls and to prepare to meet her in Heaven.

Will made by A. J. Estes (Transcribed by Doris Robins)

Georgia Haralson County
The following is will of A. J. Estes, but no record found of its probation entered to record for preservance.

I Andrew J Estes of said State and County, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make this my and will
and Testament, hereby revoking and abhielling all other by me heretofore made.

I hereby direct that all my just debts be paid without unnecessary delay, by my executor, hereinafter named and
appointed.

I give, bequeath and devise to my wife, Millie Estes for and during her natural life certain property "to wit"
Eighty three acres of land in the first district and fourth section of Haralson County, Georgia, being
situated in land lots Nos. 87, 902, being full lots of 40 acres each, and three acres off the South-west corner of
land lot No 888, with remainder over at her death to our children, Schrisfa, Stanton, Martha, Mary, Lawton,
Dealie, Amillie, Oba, Ona, George, Lona and Lincoln, said children being born unto me by my said wife Millie Estes.
I desire to say in this connection, that the reason that I am making no provision in this will for the children
born unto me by my first wife Virnon Estes, is that upon our separation, I conveyed unto her, for the benefit of
herself and the said children eighty acres of land, which is at this time equal in value, to that which I am now
bequeathing to my beloved wife, Millie Estes and our children named above, and which said children by said
Virnon Estes have enjoyed the full benefit thereof since the death of their said mother, Virnon Estes, Therefore I
feel that I would not be dealing fairly with all my children and between them to bequeath in addition to what
I have already conveyed unto them through their mother Virnon Estes, any part of the property which I am now
bequeathing in this will. I hereby constitute and appoint John M Monroe who now resides about one half mile from
where I now reside as sole executor of this my last will and Testament. This Dec. 14th 1915
