Will, 3 copies, with covers 1901

the books in my home, all periodicals, all things suitable for a library, I desire the Trustees to place, as soon as possible, in the new Library Building connected with the University.

The ivory, painted breastpin, surrounded with small brilliants, picture of my son, and one of the same of my mother, and another with large diamonds surrounding it of my husband, I desire shall be placed and carefully preserved in one of the cases in the memorial room of my husband in Stanford Museum Building.

XXIV.

I nominate and appoint my friend RUSSELL J. WILSON, of San Francisco, California, and my brother CHARLES GARDNER LATHROP, and my friends TIMOTHY HOPKINS of Menlo Park, and JOSEPH D. GRANT of San Francisco, California, to be the Executors of this my Will.

No bonds shall be required of them, either upon qualification as Executors, or for the performance of any of the trusts of this Will, either as Executors or otherwise.

XXV.

It is my solemn wish and desire that my dear brother CHARLES G. LATHROP, who has been unsurpassed in his devotion and loyalty to me through my trials and sorrows during the past eight years, and devoted to all the interests left me by my dear husband, should be retained in the Board of Directors of the Pacific Improvement Company as long as my Estate retains any interest therein. I hereby request that the Board of Trustees of the University shall retain my brother CHARLES G. LATHROP as Treasurer of and Business Manager for the Board of Trustees, he to receive annually the salary of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars each year, and I trust for my sake my dear brother will be willing to retain

the position and accept the compensation named.

XXVI.

Of the large estate committed to the hands of my husband and myself, I have made what I consider the wisest and most just disposition, and the disposition most in accordance with cherished wishes long entertained by my husband and myself, and I shall greatly deplore any attempt to disturb it; and if any devisee or legatee under the above written Will, or any person who, if I died intestate, would be entitled to any part of my estate, should either directly or indirectly attempt to oppose or set aside the probate of this Will, or to impair, invalidate or set aside its provisions, or to set aside or avoid, or to have declared void, null or ineffectual any transfer or grant made or attempted to be made by my husband or myself to said Trustees of said University, then and in that case, I give and bequeath to such person or persons the sum of One Hundred ($100) Dollars, and no more, in lieu of any other share or interest under the Will or in my estate; and I expressly declare and provide that to take any part directly or indirectly in such an attempt shall be held and conclusively deemed to be an election by the person or persons doing so to take the said One Hundred ($100) Dollars, and no more, in lieu of all interest in my estate, and all the rest of the interest that would otherwise have gone to such person or persons by devise or inheritance shall pass under the residuary clause of the said Will.

XXVII.

I hereby revoke all former Wills by me at any [?] made.

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: 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.

(signed) Jane L. Stanford
