Notes:

For the Pioneer woman was here and took a hand. Was first to extend sympathy when someone died. The First to offer aid. In Sickness, sat up nights so the hausfrau could get a rest. Made soups, and puddings and sent them over. Helped the Doctor when a child was born. Performed his normal function, in his absence in addition to her own.

I Quote from a letter:

"My Mother helped bring 78 Corktown kids into this world and then lost count.

The "Mother" was Mrs. James Murphy Sr.

The writer, her daughter, Gertie.

This is the last Will and Testament of Joseph Bechtel of Preston, Yeoman. I will and desire that all my just debts, funeral and testamentary expenses be paid by my Executors…I give and devise unto my beloved wife Magdalena during the term of her natural life the homestead wherein I now dwell, being part of the broken front Lot number four in what is commonly called Richard Beasly's Lower Block of the Township of Waterloo, and which said lot is now within the boundaries of the Corporation of Preston. And I also give and devise unto my beloved wife all my farming stock, implements, as also my furniture or so much thereof as she may choose to keep, to hold to her during the term of her natural life, which said devices I give to her in lieu of Dower. And my will is further that upon the decease of my said wife, my Executors do sell my said homestead as also all the remainder of my other estate, both real and personal of what nature or kind so ever and to dispose thereof to the best advantage as they may think proper and divide the proceeds thereof unto and among my four children viz: Christian, Elizabeth, Samuel and Joseph in manner following, that is to say: the said Christian and Elizabeth shall receive one sixth of such proceeds each, and the said Samuel and Joseph shall receive one third of such proceeds each, provided always that if any of my sons shall not then have arrived at the age of maturity, his share shall be placed on interest until he has attained the age of maturity. And I give and bequeath all other my real and personal estate note herein before divided or bequeathed or not chosen, to be kept by my said wife as aforesaid, unto my Executors in trust to dispose therof to the best advantage and after paying all my jut debts, funeral and testamentary expenses in trust pay unto my said wife one third of the remainder and to divide the other two thirds of such remainder unto and among my said four children in the same manner and under the same proviso as heretofore mentioned for the division of that part of my estate. And in the event of such last mentioned other real and personal estate shall prove insufficient to pay my said just debts, funeral, and testamentary expenses my will then is that my Executors do sell and dispose of so much of my said homestead as will be ample and sufficient to make up the deficiency. And in the event of my said wife not desiring to remain on the said homestead or not desiring to farm the same or the whole of the same, that then in any or either of such cases my will is, that my Executors do dispose of the said homestead or so much thereof as my said wife does not desire to farm and the proceeds thereof, shall be placed and put on interest for the benefit and use of my said wife during the time of her natural life, and upon her decease be divided by my
Executors unto and among my said four children in the same manner and under the same proviso as heretofore mentioned for the division of my estate. And I hereby give and grant unto my Executors full power and authority to sell and dispose of any of my estate in manner aforesaid and to grant a Deed of Deeds of Conveyance for the same in as ample a manner as I myself could do were I living. And I also do allow my Executors to pay and reimburse themselves for any expenses, loss of time, or other disbursements, which they may be subject to in executing this my Last Will and Testament. And I nominate and appoint my friends Abram A. Erb of Preston, aforesaid Merchant, and Henry Hagey of the Township of Waterloo, Yeoman, to be the Executors of this my Last Will and Testament….
