To the widow of the testator, the whole of his property, real and personal, was given, with the exceptions mentioned, during her natural life, confiding to her the care and maintenance of his son, should he so long live. In the event of the death of the widow, living the son, and from the period of her death, the will gives the son, in addition to the other devises and be- quests in his favor, a life annuity of $600, the said annuity, with all other claims and property, so as aforesaid or thereby given to the son to be held in trust by the executor of the will, Captain Isaac Mayo, for the use and benefit of his son during his natural life, and no longer. |
