LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
GRACE E. LEHMAN
I, GRACE E. LEHMAN, of Newville Borough, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
being of sound mind, memory and disposition, do hereby make, publish and declare this my Last
Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void any and all Wills, Codicils, or writings in
the nature thereof, by me at any time heretofore made:
FIRST: PAYMENT OF EXPENSES - I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses,
including my gravemarker and all expenses of my last illness, shall be paid from my re&iguary
,

estate as soon as practicable after my decease as a part of the administration of my eS,tate. '..,
~"'...~'
SECOND: LEGACY - I hereby make the following legacy:
:...,..t
A. TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED (2,500.00) DOLLARS to DIANNAK.
STOUFFER.
(..)
0:'
THIRD: RESIDUE OF EST ATE - I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate, be it real, personal, or mixed, of whatsoever kind and wheresoever
situate, unto my husband, LESTER H. LEHMAN, provided that he survives me by 30 days.
FOURTH: CONTINGENCY IF SPOUSE DOES NOT SURVIVE - If my husband, LESTER
H. LEHMAN, does not survive me by 30 days, my real estate shall be sold and the proceeds
divided equally among my sons, STEVEN M. LEHMAN, RANDY L. LEHMAN, JOSEPH H.
LEHMAN and THOMAS G. LEHMAN. However, if a child does not survive me and leaves
children who so survive me, such children shall receive, per stirpes (by representation), the share
my child would have received had he or she so survived me. All of the remainder of my estate
shall be distributed to the same four sons, on a per stirpes distribution basis.
P AGE ONE OF FOUR
FIFTH: TRUSTEE OF MINOR'S EST ATE - Any share or shares of my estate which passes
to a minor shall be placed IN TRUST with STEVEN M. LEHMAN and RANDY L. LEHMAN,
as TRUSTEES, to serve without posting bond, on the following terms and conditions
A. So long as the child is a minor, the net income of the Trust shall be paid to or
applied for the child's maintenance, education or support, at such time and in such
proportions as my Trustees shall in their sole discretion determine, and without regard to
his or her parent's ability to provide for such needs. In the event that the income would
be insufficient to provide the child with adequate maintenance, education and support,
the Trustees shall invade the principal for this purpose and such invasions shall be
according to the needs of the child.
B. Upon his attaining the age of eighteen (18) years, the said Trustee shall
distribute the Trust assets, including accrued income, to the child.
C. If said child shall die prior to attaining the age of eighteen (18) years, the
separate trust for his or her benefit shall terminate and the principal and any undistributed
income shall be paid to the estate of such child.
SIXTH: TAXES RESULTING FROM MY DEATH - All federal, estate and other death
taxes that may be assessed as a consequence of my death, whether or not the assets pass under
this Will, shall be paid from the residuary estate of my probate estate just as if they were my
debts, and none of those taxes shall be charged against any beneficiary or joint owner.
SEVENTH: EXECUTOR - I appoint my husband, LESTER H. LEHMAN, as Executor of my
Will. Ifhe is unable or unwilling to serve, I then appoint RANDY L. LEHMAN and STEVEN
M. LEHMAN, Co-Executors of my Will. Neither my Executor nor any successor shall be
required to give bond.
P AGE TWO OF FOUR
I grant to my Executor and successors the power to compromise claims without court
approval and without the consent of any beneficiary.
EIGHTH: PROTECTIVE PROVISION - To the greatest extent permitted by law, before
actual payment to a beneficiary or to his or her account, no interest in income or principal shall
be assignable by a beneficiary or available to anyone having a claim against a beneficiary.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto have signed my name to this, my Last Will and
