Buchanan County, Missouri Probate File #3567 for Allen WOMACK Sr. is true to the original as transcribed from microfilmed copies by Linda Sparks Starr of Norman, OK APR 1999. The order given below differs from the order of papers received from the court house. When words are unclear, I've given two most likely choices divided by a slash mark between them. I used blank underlines "_" to show letters which weren't clear. Also I noted in brackets specific problems making transcription difficult. I used the words "cont'd" to indicate a second or third page of inventory.
