If on a final division of my estate each of the shares of my said heirs shall not amount to four thousand dollars my will is that those whohave had that amount advanced refund or pay back so as to make all the shares equal. And if the several shares shall exceed said amount of four thousand dollars, those who have received that amount shall receive in addition so as to make them equal.
And lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint my two sons John Strous and Samuel Strous to be the executors of this my last will and testament, revoking and annulling all former wills by me heretofore made ratifying and confirming this and none other to be my last Will and Testament.
