Will, 3 copies, with covers 1901

XXVII. I hereby revoke all former Wills by me at any [illegible]

I wish thus publicly to acknowledge my great gratitude to an allwise, loving Heavenly Father for His sustaining grace through the past eight years of bereavement, trials and disappointments. In all I have leaned hard on this Great Comforter and found peace and rest. I have no doubt about a future life beyond this; a fair land where no more tears will be shed and no more partings had.

TO THIS MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, written in triplicate, I have on this 10th day of December, A.D.1901, in the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, set my hand on this and the preceding ten pages.

a. I authorize, empower and direct said Trustee to invest said sum of Two Million ($2,000,000.) Dollars in first class bonds, or other securities, as it may deem best, and to pay over, at regular intervals the net income arising from one million dollars thereof to my brother ARIEL LATHROP of Albany, New York, for and during the term of his natural life, and upon his death, (as he has no children or descendants), this trust shall cease and determine as to onehalf of said trust property, that is to say, as to one million dollars thereof, and the said sum or the property in which it may be invested shall belong to and be delivered to his relatives, as follows, viz: one-half thereof to his brother CHARLES GARDNER LATHROP, and the other one-half thereof to the descendants of his deceased brother Daniel Shields Lathrop in the proportions of one-third to his daughter JENNIE L.

d. To pay over, one-half to each, at regular intervals, to said DANIEL S. GUNNING and AMY L. GUNNING, the children of my deceased niece Christine L. Gunning, one-third of the net income arising from said one million dollars, the said one-half of said trust property, until such time as the younger of the two shall reach the age of twenty-five years, at which time this trust shall cease and determine as to one-third of said one million dollars, the one-half of said trust property, and the said one-third shall belong to and be delivered to said Daniel S. and Amy L.
