I give devise and bequeath to my dear wife Rachael Ruth Albaugh all my estate, real, personal and mixed for and during her natural life and after her death I will and direct that my property real and personal be sold and the proceeds equally divided among all of my children, share and share alike, and in case any of my children should die before my said wife leaving issue then living, I Will and direct that the child or children of such deceased child shall have its on their parents portion. If my Wife should conclude that for any reason it would be to her interest to sell my real estate in her life time, then I authorize my Executors hereinafter named or the succession of them, upon the consent in writing of my said Wife and a majority of my Children then of age being first obtained, to sell my said Real Estate for the best price that can be reasonably obtained for the same, and divide the proceeds of Sale equally between my Wife and my Children and the Children of any deceased Child, per stirpes, share and share alike, but in no case shall my property be sold during the life time of my Wife without her consent being first obtained.

And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my dear Wife Rachael Ruth Albaugh and my son Charles E. Albaugh to be Executors of this my last Will and Testament, revoking all former Wills by me heretofore made, and satisfying and confirming this and none other to be my last Will and Testament.
