VIRGINIA: In the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Radford the 23rd day of February, 1984

In re: Will of CHARLES WESLEY ROSEBERRY, Deceased

A paper writing bearing date July 6, 1976, purporting to be the will of Charles Wesley Roseberry, deceased, was this day presented by Margaret Lawton and James C. Roseberry, the Executors named therein, and offered for probate.

It appearing that Charles Wesley Roseberry resided in the City of Radford and that he died February 20, 1984, Diana M. Clark, one of the subscribing witnesses to the paper writing dated July 6, 1976, being first duly sworn, deposed and said that she and R. H. Bryant and Jimmie V. Jenkins, the other subscribing witnesses to said paper writing, were present together at the same time and in the presence of Charles Wesley Roseberry when he, the testator, signed the said paper writing and acknowledged it to be his will, and that they, at his request, in his presence and in the presence of each other, signed their names thereto as subscribing witnesses; and that the testator was at that time over twenty‑one years of age and capable of making a will.

Thereupon the said paper writing dated July 6, 1976 consisting of one and one‑third typewritten pages, is established, and adjudged to be the last will and testament of Charles Wesley Roseberry, deceased, and is ordered to be recorded as such.

Thereupon Margaret Lawton and James C. Roseberry who were named as Executors in the Will asked permission to qualify as such, whereupon, such permission being granted, they appeared, made oath as the law directs, and entered into and acknowledged a bond as such Executors in the penalty of $41,000.00, payable and conditioned according to law, but without security, the will requesting that none be required.

And certificate is granted Margaret Lawton and James C. Roseberry for obtaining a probate of the said will of Charles Wesley Roseberry, deceased, in due form.
