jointly have the use of the following property during their natural lives and
that the survivor of the other shall have the exclusive rights of said
property during her natural life, The parcel of land on which I now live with
two hundred acres to be cut off from my track of land called the Bay Place

horses, hogs, cattle and sheep that I shall not hereafter give away with all
the farming tools, household and kitchen furniture.
