LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

OF

MARY NICKLES

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That I, MARY NICKLES, of

the County of Abbeville, State of South Carolina, being of sound

mind and memory, do hereby declare this to be my Last Will and Testa

ment and hereby revoke any and all other Wills heretofore made by me.

ITEM I

I direct that all my legal debts, including my funeral

expenses and expenses of my last illness, if any, be paid as soon

as may be practicable, but that the Statute of Limitations be

pleaded in all cases where applicable.

ITEM II

I will and direct that my Executors hereinafter named see

to and accomplish the following matters: That a suitable arrange

ment shall be made for my funeral and that of my dear mother, Essie

McKenzie Nickles, should she survive me. The funeral in each case

to be average in cost or below average, but same in each case shall

be in keeping with the directions that I might leave with Harris

Mortuary in Abbeville. I direct that a stone be erected to mark my

grave and that of my dear mother similar to that marking the grave

of my brother.

ITEM III

Should my dear mother, Essie McKenzie Nickles, survive me,

I direct that my Executors, for and during her life, pay over for

and in her behalf any of the income from my property and assets of

every kind, with the right in my Executors to use so much of the

principal and to sell and!convey any property, real or personal, for

i, 'medicalthe support, maintenance, care, hospitalization, welfare and\

comfort of my said dear mother. The decision as to the needs, wel-

fare and comfort of my said, dear mother shall be determined solely

by my Executors. In this connection, our home where we live, together

JÔ

with all the f niture, household appliances, china, silver, kitchen

equipment and tensils, and all ther household items may be kept

intact tempore ily and used ten orarily as a home for my dear mother.

However, in th. * event, I direct that there must be some suitable

person to stay ith her. Should my said dear mother survive me, it

is my feeling ti \t a stay in our home would not be practical and would

be on a temporary basis. Therefore, I will and direct that my Execu

tors consult with my relatives and find a suitable home for her, which

shall include nursing home or similar facilities. As soon as possible

after my death and in keeping in mind the provisions contained in this

item for my said dear mother, I will and direct that the property

described in this item, and subject to provisions set out below with

reference to certain items of personal property, be sold and disposed

of by my Executors, and I give them full power and authority to do so,

subject to the provisions set out herein.

_S ITEM IV

-it A. Subject to the provisions contained in Item III above,

all items of personal clothing, linens, sheets, pillow cases, spreads,

y and blankets in my home, I give, bequeath and devise unto New Hope

Presbyterian Church, Abbeville, South Carolina, to be used for needy

persons as determined by said Church. I suggest that in this respect

the advice of the ladies of the Church be sought, but this is not

binding and will be a matter for the determination of the church.

Any items of said personal property as described in this paragraph A

of this Item IV that should not be accepted by the New Hope Presby

terian Church of Abbeville, I will and direct that my Executors

hereinafter named shall give same to some needy person or persons

as they deem proper. In the event that these items cannot be so

placed for the needy, I direct that my Executors dispose of same or

destroy same as they deem advisable.

- 2 -

B. Subject to the provisions contained in Item III above with

reference to my said dear mother, I direct that my Execu

tors shall sell at private sale all furniture, household goods, house

hold appliances, silver, china, kitchen equipment and utensils, and

all other items of personal property not hereinabove disposed of.

I direct that no public sale be made of said property. How

ever, my Executors may show said property to prospective buyers and

receive bids on said property on an item for item basis, as a whole,

or a combination of the two as they deem best. The net proceeds of

sale, after payment of all costs and expenses, shall become a part

of my residuary estate as set out below, except that should my mother

survive me, the net proceeds from said sale shall be used by my Execu

tors to carry out the provisions of Item III above with reference

to my said dear mother, and the amount remaining of said proceeds

after the death of my said dear mother shall become a part of my

residuary estate.

ITEM V
