My son, Samuel Watkins Colerider, and my daughter, Gertrude Colerider Sharpe, have, during my life time been beneficiaries of my estate to such an extent as to make this devise herein contained ample and adequate and the devise to my daughter, Pearl Colerider Pierce, is in just appreciation of her years of attendance upon me and the further fact that she is dependent for her own support on her own efforts.

5. I hereby appoint my daughter, Pearl Colerider Pierce, the executor of this my last will and testament and direct that she be permitted to administer this will without bond.
