I, Thomas C. Therwell of Oldham County, Kentucky, do now make this instrument of writing my last will and testament, revoking any previous will or codicil.

1. I wish all my just debts and funeral expenses paid, and after this is done I direct and will
2. That my whole estate, both real and personal, shall be owned, used and enjoyed by my wife, Susan Virginia, for her support and maintenance during her natural life.
3. Upon the death of my said wife, my farm in Oldham County, Kentucky, near Skylight, containing fifty-six acres, more or less, shall pass to and belong to my son, Albert A. Therwell in fee simple, together with all personal property that may then be upon said farm, including farming implements, household and kitchen furniture, and life stock of every kind.
4. Upon the death of my said wife, a lot of land upon which there is a dewelling house situated on the south side of the alley North of Magazine Street, between Ninth and Tenth Streets, in the City of Louisville, Kentucky, fronting twenty-six feet on said alley and extending back in parallel lines eighty feet, the number of the house being 928, shall pass to and belong to my grandchildrenb Edward Thurwell and Lula Thurwell, children of my deceased son, Frederick Therwell.  The said lot is immediately in the rear and adjoining the lot on Magazine Street devised to my son Robert.  I advanced to my son Frederick during his life time as much of my estate as was his just share, but never the less, I make this devise to two of his children.
