OF
ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG
I, ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG, of Camp Hill Borough, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and
understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will
and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous wills
and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
The expenses of my last illness and funeral shall b€,paid from
the property of my estate.
SECOND
I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainde.i: of
my estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of
whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my
children, JOHN T. CRAIG, JR. and STEVEN N. CRAIG, who surVlve me by
thirty (30) days, per stirpes. It is further my desire that my co-
personal representatives, after consultation with any heir or heirs
of mine who survive me, and in their own discretion, choose such
articles from my tangible personal property (exclusive of cash,
stock certificates, bonds, and all other tangible evidences of
intangible personal property) as they believe will be useful to
PAGE 1 OF 5
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG
such heir or heirs or desirable for him or her or them to have,
either from a sentimental point of view or otherwise, and to
deliver such articles to such heir or heirs or among such heirs ln
equal or unequal shares as determined by the further exercise of
their discretion, provided no other heir objects to the
distribution. All tangible personal property not so distributed is
to be sold, either publicly or privately, by my co-personal
representatives, adding the proceeds of such sale or sales to my
residuary estate and to be disposed of in equal shares among my
surviving heirs after payment of my estate debts, taking into
account the tangible personal property otherwise provided to them.
THIRD
I grant my co-personal representatives the following powers in
addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my co-personal
representatives shall hold by law:
(a) To retain all property received including the stock of
any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property
remains productive.
(b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitaliza-
tion, merger, reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate
authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments under
agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all
rights of investors, including but not limited to, the voting of
shares.
PAGE 2 OF 5
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG
(c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease on
any terms any real estate held or owned by my estate.
(d) To operate any business that I may own at my death.
(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds,
notes or other securities or property, real or personal, without
regard to the principle of diversification or any other statute or
general rule of law in their absolute discretion, it being my
intention to give my co-personal representatives the broadest
investment powers possible, providing such investments do not
unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or
personal, tangible or intangible, at any time forming a part of my
estate in any manner and on such terms and conditions as my co-
personal representatives shall see fit in their absolute
discretion.
(g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other
proper purposes in the administration of my estate, and to mortgage
or pledge estate assets as security.
(h) To compromise claims without court approval including,
but not limited to, any controversies with the United States of
America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning estate and
inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass under this my Last
Will and Testament.
(i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or
distribution of my estate.
PAGE 3 OF 5
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG
(j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper
by my co-personal representatives for the proper, advantageous and
prompt management of the settlement of my estate.
(k) In general, to exercise all powers ln the management of
my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of
similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms and
conditions as to them may seem best and to execute and deliver all
instruments and to do all acts which they deem necessary or proper
to carry out the purposes of this, my Last will and Testament.
FOURTH
No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income
or in principal, shall be subj ect to anticipation or pledge,
assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any
beneficiary have the power in any manner to charge or encumber his
or her interest either in income or principal, nor shall the
interest of any beneficiary be liable or subj ect in any manner
while in the possession of my co-personal representatives for the
liability of such beneficiary.
FIFTH
I nominate, constitute and appoint my children, JOHN T. CRAIG,
JR. and STEVEN N. CRAIG, as co-personal representatives of this my
Last Will and Testament. I direct that my co-personal
representatives shall not be required to give or post bond for the
PAGE 4 OF 5

jurisdiction.
