Codicil
Be it known unto all men by those present that I Charles Haines of Middle Bight South Shore in the electoral district of Harbour Main Newfoundland, farmer, have made and declared my last will and testament in writing bearing date the 15^th day of February in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eleven and I the said Charles Haines by this present codicil do ratify and confirm my last will and testament; and do give and bequeath unto my wife Eliza the sum of one hundred dollars currency ($100.00). If after my death my wife Eliza wished to live with my son Edgar she is at liberty to do so, but if she leaves my house she is to take nothing with her only what she brought. All my funeral expenses are to be paid out of my Mortality Money from the Loyal Orange Association, and if there is any money left my son Edgar is to receive it. And my will and meaning is that this codicil be adjudged to be a part and parcel of my last will and testament, and that all things therein mentioned and contained be faithfully and truly performed and so fully and amply in every respect, as if the same were so declared and set down in my last will and testament.
Witness my hand this 2^nd day of February one thousand nine hundred and fifteen.
