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.
