Trying to Transcribe - Will of Solomon Bond - Pt 1

Today I am trying to transcribe the will of my 2nd great-grandfather, Solomon Bond, who died in Linn County Oregon in February 1900. His will was apparently written in 1887. I have in my files two copies of his will, both handwritten. One copy is on 3 pages and the other copy is on 2 pages. The latter appears to be what has been recorded in the will book. The other copy came from the probate files. Both copies are rather faded so are hard to read, but I'll do my best. Please contact me if you see any errors. I'm going to use the 3 part version today.
