Will of John Nobili, Jesuit Priest at Santa Clara. 
Dated: 28 February 1856 
Probated: April 7, 1856 
 
In the name of God Amen. I, John Nobili, being weak 
and sick in body, but of sound mind and disposing 
memory do make and ordain this as my last will and 
testament. 
 
My body I bequeath to the earth from whence it 
sprung, and my soul to God who gave it and my memory 
to the Holy Catholic Church in whose communion I hope 
to live and die. 
 
I give and bequeath all my property of any kind, 
real and personal and mixed to the President and 
Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College to have and 
to hold the same unto the said Corporation forever. 
 
Witness my hand and seal this 28th day of February 
A.D. 1856.
