In case her issue become extinct within twenty-one years after her death, or in case she leaves no issue at her death, then her half of this trust estate shall forthwith be divided in fee simple as follows: One-fifth to the Covington Protestant Children's Home, one-fifth each to Young Men's Christian Association of Covington, and the Board of Education of the Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Kentucky, and the other two-fifths to the Home for Aged and Indigent Women of Covington, Ky. If my daughter Sara dies without issue surviving her, or if her issue becomes extinct within twenty-one years after her death, then her half of before-mentioned trust fund shall forthwith be divided in the same manner and proportions between the said four charities. I give my daughter Sara full power to appoint by deed or will her successor to the trust herein created. I appoint my daughter Sara sole executrix and trustee of this my last will and testament, and direct that she may qualify as such without bond. I give her full power to settle any or all claims, either in favor of or against my estate by compromise or by other means, with the same power I myself would possess if living. If she declines to serve, or is dead, I appoint Charles C. Chase my executor.
