 This is the last will and testament of me Norman Aubrey Outerbridge of St. John's Newfoundland in the County of   made this twenty-third day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixteen I hereby revoke all wills made by me at any time heretofore.  I appoint Messrs. Harvey's Estates Ltd of St. John's Nfld to be my executor, and direct that all my debts and funeral expenses shall be paid as soon as conveniently may be after my decease.  I give and bequeath unto the C of E Orphanage St. John's, one of the R.

Mary Tucker, three hundred dollars: to my nephew and godson Norman Douglas Campbell five hundred dollars: a life interest in five thousand dollars to my wife Mary Evaleen: on her death this sum to go to the executive council of the Diocesan Synod in Nfld for expenditure as follows: one thousand dollars towards the cost of a new See House for the Bishop of Newfoundland on Kings Bridge Road, St.
John's: seven hundred dollars to the Clergy Sustination Fund: five hundred dollars to Bishop Field College: five hundred dollars to other C of E schools in St. John's: five hundred dollars each to the Bishoprick Maintenance fund and the Clergy retirement fund: three hundred dollars each to the Church Lads Brigade in St. John's, the C of E Orphanage, the Clergy widows and orphans fund and the ordination fund: one hundred dollars to the C of E Cemetery fund, I leave my camp and sporting goods to my brother P. E. Outerbridge: all the rest of my property and estate I leave to my darling wife, Mary Evaleen provided that in the event of her desiring payment in cash, my executors may, if they consider it desirable in the interests of the business, spread over three years, in equal sums per annum, payment of the amount represented by my shares in the firm of Harvey & Co. Ltd. and other items at my credit in their books: provided further that in the event of my wife having a child for me, such child is to receive one fifth of the amount otherwise due to my wife under this will.  In the event of my wife predeceasing me, the
amount set out for her is to be evenly divided between my surviving brothers & sister.  At the time of making this will I am on the point of leaving England to fight for a great and just cause, in fact for all that Englishmen, the world over, hold dear, in a word for national existence.  If I am called upon to lay down my life I hope the glory of the cause will fully comfort any who might mourn for me.  Here I must record my admiration for my dear wife's brave self-sacrifice, devotion and unflinching courage.  So far from ever trying to dissuade me from the duty which lay clear before me, she has by her noble self-control and sympathetic love, given me the
encouragement and help I always knew she would.  Of my beloved parents I must add that none ever enjoyed better or ever will.  May God bless and keep them all.  I regret the trouble of executing this will which will probably largely devolve on one of the finest and most lovable
 men I have ever known.  Farewell, John Harvey.  N. A. Outerbridge - Signed by the said Testator N. A. Outerbridge in the presence of us, present at the same time, who at his request in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses
