OTHER PAPERS PERTAINING TO THE WILL OF ELI JOWERS


DOCUMENT #1


GEORGIA, COFFEE COUNTY.
In re, petition of E. P. Jowers, for probate on solemn form of
the will of Ely Jowers.
And now comes J. D. Jowers, Alice Smith, Rosella Griffin,
Eveline Phillips, Algerine Cliett, Ellie Fair Butler Sylvania Parker
and Marietta Jowers and file this their caveat to the above stated
petition and object to the admission to record of said will and for
cause of objection say:

1st. At the time of the execution of said instrument Ely Jowers
was not of sound and disposing mind and memory.

2nd. Said instrument is not the will of Ely Jowers because he
did not execute the same freely and voluntarily, but was moved thereto
by undue influence exerted over him by his son E. P. Jowers.

3rd. It is not his will because subsequent to the making of said
will said Ely Jowers married and there was no provisions made in
said will in contemplation of said marriage by which reason said instrument
is revoked and of no effect.
