Second- I give devise and bequeath with my son ALLEN P. EATON all the household and kitchen furniture that may be in my house at the time of my
death. Also my two horses and cow named Young Daisy.
The foregoing is my will and true desire and while my other children are at this time in my mind, and I love them, they have not contributed to
the accumulation of my little estate as my three sons above named have none, and I am of the opinion that they would not take con? of and
preserve the property if I should give it to them but would soon ??? through with it so that it would them but little good. This opinion and
will was also entertained by my beloved wife ANNIE EATON before her death and she recommended to me the making of this will and for the same
reasons herein given. I hereby nominate and appoint my son THOMAS S. EATON to be the Executor to this my last will and testament given under my

the said will itself, and every part thereof is in the handwriting of the said JOSEPH E. SUGG, and it is further proved by the evidence of the
