| Will of Edgar G. Keplinger
This is my will written on the last day in the afternoon of 1956. I will for the land 34 acres to be divided equal bet5ween Vernon and Maynard Keplinger the two of my sons who are at home with me. I will that Vernon have the southern half of this place next to Oce Heaveners farm. I will that Vernon also have all that belongs to this tract. The dividing line corners at or near a yellow pine just below No. 2 poultry house. Then corners a short distance north of the line gate between this farm and T.C. Berg. Then I will that Maynard Keplinger have the land all that belongs to it north of this dividing line next to Carl Berg. Then I will that Vernon and Maynard pay Mrs. Emmett Hesse their sister $100.00 or $50.00 each. Then I will for my four sons Virgil, Vernon, Loney and Maynard jointly together pay their sister Mrs. Emmett Hesse the $100.00 which my father-in-law, Frank S. Barger said he should have included in his will. The four boys know we all talked over it and said she should have had it. I will that Mrs. Emmett Hesse deposit this money in the Grant County Bank and use it strictly for her self only. Check it out as she buys and carry no money purse, and the bank see that is in her hand write before they cash any checks. I also will that Loney and Virgil Keplinger assist Vernon and Maynard Keplinger with their financial affairs. My four sons do as they think right about the live stock, poultry or ho ever it may be at my death. Goodbye to my children and live right. Mom and I want to see you all where the sun will never set.
