personal of whatever kind name or nature or wherever situated which I may 
possess at the time of my death to her and to her heirs and assigns forever 
giving her full power over the same to use as she shall see fit.  Except that 
in case she shall marry after my death then do much of my estate as shall 
remain in her hands shall be placed in the control of two trustees to be 
appointed by the court of probate of the town of East Providence—neither of 
said trustees to be her husband, and the income and one thirtieth part of the 
property so trusted may be paid to her in each year thereafter and at her 
death what remains may be disposed of by her by will to whom she pleases.

I furthermore direct that in case my wife Sarah Elizabeth Dexter shall die 
without children and shall leave no lawful will and testament then the balance 
of my estate unspent by her shall be divided equally among the following 
persons viz:  Sarah Dexter and Jessie Dexter daughters of Christopher Dexter 
of East Providence, William Cole and Hannah Maria Carpenter, children of 
Nathaniel Cole of East Providence, to them and to their heirs and assigns 
forever.

this my last will and testament without bonds requesting her to use my estate 
in a wise and prudent manner, always mindful of the sick and poor and hereby 
revoke all other and former wills by me heretofore made and publish this and
