nd seal, this twenty-eighth day of March, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-nine. CHARLES F. HOVEY. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Testator to be his last Will and Testament, in presence of us, who, at his request, and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereto subscribed our names as witnesses. GEORGE L. LOVETT. THOMAS MACK. WILLIAM W. HOWE. I do prove, approve and allow the same, and order it to be recorded. Given under my hand and seal of office, the day and year above written. ISAAC AMES, _May 30, 1859_. _Judge of Probate and Insolvency._ [154] George William Curtis, Mrs. Eliza W. Farnham, Parker Pillsbury, Sarah Hallock, Mrs. Sidney Howard Gay, Sarah M.
