All the expenses of my last sickness, my just debts, and funeral shall be fully paid, and provision made for a marker at my grave beside my husband, Morris Barrett, and a suitable inscription upon the monument on my lot in the Improved Order of Redmen (IORM) Cemetery, in Port Townsend, Wash.

My personal effects to be divided according to a list which I leave in the hands of my old and tried friend, J.M. Lockhart, whom I nominate and appoint to be the executor of this, my last will and testament, without bonds, hereby revoking any, and all former wills by me made, and empower him to sell my personal effects as hereinafter directed.

…to Etta Blakeney, of Baker City, Oregon, the sum of $200; and to Cora E. Juel, of Auburn, Nebraska, $200, and my watch, and other jewelry…

I desire J.M. Lockhart to take possession of my library and personal effects and to burn all old letters and papers he may find in my desk and trunk, in the attic of my house; to select what books he may wish to keep…my books of poems to go to Cora Juel, of Auburn, Nebraska…
