<br />and it is my wish that if arty child is obliged to sell the land devised to it, that the child
<br />should first offer it for sale to one or all of the other children.

<br />will and direct that he shall not be required to give bond or surety as such. I authorize my
<br />executrix or her successor to sell any or all of the personal property owned by me at my death at
<br />either public or private sale without any license or order from any court or judge.
