State of South Carolina
County of Marlboro.
	In the name of God, amen. I, Delina B. Hamer of the county of Marlboro and the State of South Carolina, being of sound and 
disposing mind, but realizing the uncertainty of life, do make, ordain, publish and declare this as and for my last will and 
testament, hereby revoking all wills and instruments of a testamentary nature heretofore by me made.
Item 1.  I commit soul to the gracious God who give it, and direct that my body shall be decently interred, and that all expenses 
incurred therefor be paid out of my estate.
Item II.  I will and direct that my executor hereinafter named, shall pay all my just debts with the first money coming into his 
hand.
Item III.  I will devise and bequeath to my daughter, M. Eloise Hamer, all my personal property of every kind and money and choses 
in action.
Item IV.  I will devise and bequeath to my son J. B. Hamer, in fee simple, all that piece, parcel or tract of land bounded by lands 
of C. C. Hamer, J. A. Stanton and others, this being the only tract of land owned by me in Marlboro County.  Provided, however, that 
my son J. B. Hamer, shall within three years after my death pay to my following children; A. B. Hamer, one thousand dollars; Sue H. 
Woodley, One Thousand Dollars; R. C. Hamer, One thousand Dollars; C. C. Hamer, One Thousand Dollars, and M. Eloise Hamer One Thousand 
Dollars.  It is my will and desire that J. B. Hamer shall have three years after my death to make these payments without interest.  
However, if they are not paid at the end of the third year, then they are to draw interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum 
after the third year and until paid.
Item V.  I will, devise and bequeath unto my following children, A. B. Hamer, Sue H. Woodley, R. C. Hamer, and C. C. Hamer all that 
certain piece parcel or tract of land, which I inherited from my sister, Disy Baldwin Galloway, (which is one seventh, 1-7, of all 
lands which Disy Baldwin Galloway died, seized and possessed of) situate in Richmond County, State of North Carolina, on big mountain 
Creek, share and share alike, the child or children of a deceased child or children to take per stirpes, in fee simple.
Item VI.  I will, devise and bequeath to M. Eloise Hamer and J. B. Hamer my house and lot situate in the town of Bennettsville, in 
fee simple.  I have heretofore given them a deed for this lot, but I have requested them not to have same recorded until after my 
death.
Item VII.  I will devise and bequeath to my daughter M. Eloise Hamer in fee simple, all interest in and to that piece, parcel or 
tract of land on which I now reside.  I have only a life estate in this tract of land, the remainder is invested in my daughter, M. 
Eloise Hamer.  See original Deed to me.
Item VIII.  It is my will and desire that M. Eloise Hamer and J. B. Hamer do keep my grandson, Daniel Curtis Hamer, until he finishes 
his education at the Tatum School, then send him to some business scholl and allow him there to acquire a business education, the said 
M. Eloise Hamer and J. B. Hamer to pay his expenses while in school.
Item IX.  I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my son J. B. Hamer, as executor of this my last will and testament, and if he shall 
for any cause not qualify as such, then I nominate, constitute and appoint my son C. C. Hamer, as executor of this my last will and testament.
In witness whereof, I the said Delina B. Hamer, do hereunto set my hand and seal this the 29th day of October A.D. 1914.
