Item FIRST: My executor, hereinafter named, shall give my body a decent burial, and pay my funeral expenses, together with all my just debts, out of the first moneys which may come into his hands from my estates. 

ITEM SECOND: I give and devise unto my two beloved nephews Louie Whitmire and Craig Whitmire and their bodily heirs, all my real property wheresoever the same may be situated, share and share alike, and in the event that either of my said nephews should die without bodily heirs, then and in that event the said real property shall go to the survivor or his bodily heirs. 

ITEM FOURTH: I hereby constitute and appoint my trusty friend Thomas H. Shipman my lawful executor to all intents and purposes, to execute this my last WILL and TESTAMENT, according to the true intent and meaning of the same, and every clause and part thereof, hereby revoking and declaring utterly void all other wills and testaments by me heretofore made.
