FIRST: I will to my wife all my real and personal estate so long as she shall live. After her decease my land shall be equally divided between my sons ANDREW and ALFRED, as follows: The north quarter to be divided east and west, and ANDREW shall have the north half, and ALFRED shall have the south half. The south quarter shall be divided north and south and ANDREW shall have so much of the west half by extending across ALFRED’S first lot as will make ANDREW 80 acres, and ALFRED shall have the remainder of said quarter.
