Witnesseth that the aforesaid parties contemplating matrimony do make this contract before entering into the marriage bonds, which is as follows:
First the party of the first part agrees to mary [sic] the party of the second part and provide a support for her as long as the party of the second part is his wife or widow provided she remains at his home, and agrees to support and keep her two children that she now has, and school them until they are of lawful age provided they remain with him and are reasonably respectful to him, that he is [to] furnish the same support and same advantages of school that he furnishes his own children, and on same terms party of second part is to remove what personal property she now owns to the home of the party of the first part there to be used as the property of both parties.
Second, it is expressly agreed to and understood, by and between the parties that the party of second part is to have no part in the division of the real or personal estate of the party of the second part such as the laws of the State of West Virginia give to a wife in case of the death of her husband, but the herein before mentioned support is all she is to get and that only on the conditions hereinbefore mentioned and it is further expressly understood and agreed to by the parties that party of the first part is not responsible for any debts now owing or due to any person from party of second part, nor responsible for any debts contracted by party of second part after marriage with the party of first part, except as may be here after agreed to, by the parties, and it is further understood that any money derived from the sale of any real estate now owned by
party of second part is to remain her sole and separate property to do so as she pleases with.
In witness whereof the parties have signed their names and affixed their seals.
