Hannah A. Truex of Neptune township made Matthias Woolley her executor. Mr. Woolley was directed to convert all of Mrs. Truex's property into cash as soon as he could without sacrificing any part of the estate; and when that was done to pay to Mrs. Truex's husband, Henry Truex, $2,000. The rest of the property was ordered to be divided as follows: One-sixth part to go to Mrs. Truex's husband, Henry Truex in addition to the $2,000 already bequeathed to him; one-sixth part to be put out at interest and the income thereof to be paid to Mrs. Truex's son, Otto Truex, and at his death the principal to be divided among his children or legal representatives; one-sixth part to Mrs. Truex's daughter, Sarah Hendricks, wife of Fred Hendricks; one-sixth part to Mrs. Truex's son, Alva Truex; one-sixth part to another son, Anthony Truex; and the remaining one-sixth part to another son, Harry Truex.
