bee Lawrence of the Topsfield colony, and his son-in-

tors and trustees. They are exempted from giving sure-

sonal effects of his late wife, Gertrude Lawrence, be 
returned to her family as far as practicable, and that 
the remaining household and other effects be divided 
equally among his children. To each of his brothers and 
sister-in-law he leaves $1,000, with which to buy some- 
thing in remembrance of the testator, and to each 
nephew and niece he leaves $500 for the same purpose. 
To his son, John S. Lawrence, the sum of $50,000. is 
given to be used in accordance with a letter of instrue- 
tion left by his father. All the residue of the estate is 
left to the executors and trustees, the income to be paid 
to the children, except that John S$., is given one-third 
of the residuary estate outright. In a codicil, bearing 
the date of August 16, 1911, Charles B. Amory of Mil- 
ton is named executor and trustee to serve with those 
previously selected. The codicil also revokes the clause 
of the will relating to the disposition of the household

Amory Lawrence. The widow is given also the use 
of the house at 61 Commonwealth avenue, Boston, the
