The income of the balance of my real and personal estate, whatsoever and wheresoever the same may be and not hereinbefore given and disposed of, after paying my debts and funeral expenses, I give said income to my wife Elizabeth during her lifetime, and after the death of my wife, the said estate to be divided equally between my children.
