My deceased husband James D. Hann, in his last will and testament did not devise anything to his and my daughter, Ethel Shope and made no provision whatever for her. It is my intention that she shall share equally with all our other children and wish to make a provision for her that will in the end equalize her with our other children. In order to accomplish such purpose, I will and direct that all my real estate and personal property, shall be appraised by two competent appraisers, and if they cannot agree on such appraisers to select a third appraiser and such appraisement to include the ten acre tract of land I devise to said daughter, Ethel Shope in item number three hereinbefore set out and also the real estated devised by my husband in his last will and testament to me during my natural life and the fee therein to my other children, Florence Sager, Ida Kinsey, Minnie Haas, Arthur Hann and Harry Hann and if it should be found that by such appraisement that the ten acre tract of land herein before devised to my said daughter, Ethel Shope does not equal in value the value of the share of each of our said other children, Florences Sager, Ida Kinsey, Minnie Haas, Arthur Hann and Harry Hann in the estate of my deceased husband then my said daughter, Ethel Shope shall have sufficient property out of my estate to make up the deficiency in amount, and in case the value of said ten acre tract devised to my said daughter, Ethel Shope shall exceed the value of the share of each of our other said children, devised to them by my said husband then each of our other said children, namely, Florence Sager, Ida Kinsey, Minnie Haas, Arthur Hann and Harry Hann, shall have a sufficient amount of property out of my estate to make each one equal with my said daughter, Ethel Shope. After all of my and my said husbands children, namely Ethel Shope, Florence Sager, Ida Kinsey, Minnie Haas, Arthur Hann and Harry Hann shall have been made equal as aforesaid then allteh rest and residue of my real estate and personal property I give, devise and bequeath to our said children, Ethel Shope, Florence Sager, Minnie Haas, Arthur Hann and Harry Hann and Ida Kinsey sharing equally, all my real estate herein devised I devise in fee simple and the valuation to be made as herein directed shall be the value of said property at the time of my death.
Item 5. In case my said daughter, Ethel Shope shall die before I do then the specific legacy to said ten acre tract of land to her shall lapse, but her children now living nad those that may be hereafter born to her shall take property of my estate sufficient in value to equal the ten acre tract instead of said specific tract of land, but the whole amount of my estate that the said children of my daughter, shall take, shall be ascertained and determined as set out in Item 4, preceding this item.
Item 6. If any of my said children should die before I do, leaving only one child living, in such event it is estimated by me that such child owuld receive property out of my deceased husband, James D. Hann of the value of one thousand dollars, and if it does not receive that amount I give and bequeath to such child of my said child, if deceased, suficient property out of my estate to equal one thousand dollars in value out of my estate my said husband and myself, Instead of the share herein bequeathed. To my said child it being my intention that the amount received from both estates, that is my and my husbands estates, by an only child of any child of mine that dies before I do shall not exceed in value one thousand dollars, and if any one of my said children should die before I do leaving two children living then I give and bequeath to each one property to the value of one thousand dollars each shall be allthat each one of the two shall receive out of both estates and they shall not take the share devised to their parents herein.
