	A paper writing bearing date on the 20th day of July 1887 purporting to be

day fully proved before me in my office by the oaths of W.H. Bumgardner and 
Henry Behemes (?) the subscribing witnesses thereto, and is ordered to be 
recorded. Hugh Black, John Black and James D. Black, the executors in said will

security being required by the terms of said will.

Note:	From Marshall County Cemetery Page, I got the following information:
	Abner Black -- Dec 23, 1811-May 18, 1880 (Which can’t be correct, since 
he signed his will in 1887.)
	Mary Black - Dec 29, 1818-Mar 12, 1898  wife of Abner Black
I haven’t personally seen the tombstones, so I wonder if the death years are 
reversed for them, since his wife isn’t mentioned in his will either.
