THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
LILLIAN E. GRAY
Being of lawful age and sound and disposing mind and memory and not acting
under any duress, fraud, undue influence or inducement of any person, I,
LILLIAN E. GRAY, a domiciliary of Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania:
ITEM 1
Hereby make, publish, and declare this my last Will and Testament, revoking
and rendering null and void other Wills and codicils heretofore made by me.
ITEM 2
I direct my Executor to pay the following as soon after my death as may be
practicable:
a. All of my just debts and the expenses of my last illness, funeral
and of the administration of my estate; but my Executor need not accelerate and
pay those unmatured obligations which, in his opinion, it might be proper and
more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable.
b. All inheritance, transfer, estate and similar taxes (including
interest and penalties) assessed or payable by reason of my death, on any
property or interest in my estate for purpose of computing taxes. My executor
shall not require any beneficiary under this will to reimburse my estate for
taxes paid on property passing under the terms of this will.
ITEM 3
TESTATOR - The term "Testator" as used in this Will refers to the maker of this
Will, whether male or female.
EXECUTOR - The term "Executor" as used in this Will refers to the person I
appoint to execute this Will, whether male or female.
SURVIVAL - Whenever a provision of this Will conditions a beneficiary's taking
by that beneficiary surviving the Testator, such condition of survival shall be
construed as a condition precedent to the validity of the gift, devise or
bequeath; and such condition shall be satisfied only upon survival by the
beneficiary for a period of thirty days after the date of death of the Testator
or until this Will is probated, whichever shall be the first to o~~lr, unl~s
e>:pressly stated otherwise in a provision of this Will. "-::Q-'

CHILDREN - The term "children" as used in this Will shall include any children
hereafter born to or adopted by me, and any minor stepchildren living with me
at the time of my death, as well as the children I now have, EILEEN WEEKS and
SAMUEL GRAY, IV, unless expressly stated otherwise in some provision of this
Will.
MINOR - The term "Minor" as used in this Will means a person under years of
age.
DESCENDANTS - The term "Descendants" as used in this Will means the immediate
and remote lawful lineal descendants or offspring by blood or adoption of the
person referred to who are in being at the time they must be ascertained in
order to give effect to the reference to them.
PER STIRPES - The term "Per Stirpes" as used in this Will means that whenever
distribution is to be made per stirpes, the estate or portion of the estate, to
be so distributed, shall be divided into as many shares as there are surviving
heirs in the nearest degree of kinship to the decedent and deceased persons in
the same degree of kinship who left issue who survive the decedent. This
degree of kinship shall be termed the root generation. Each surviving heir in
the root generation shall take one full share. Those remaining heirs, i.e. the
surviving issue of the deceased persons in the root generation, shall take the
share of their deceased ancestor in the root generation, such share being
divided in the following manner: each surviving issue shall take the
fractional share that his or her immediate ancestor would have taken had he or
she survived; and when there are two or more such surviving issue in the same
degree of kinship they shall divide such fractional share equally among them.
PER CAPITA - The term "Per Capita" as used in this Will means that whenever
distribution is to be made per capita, the estate or portion of the estate, to
be so distributed, shall be divided into as many equal shares as there are
surviving issue, standing in the same degree of kinship to the decedent.
Distribution shall be made without reference to right of representation of the
surviving issue.
ISSUE - The term "Issue" as used in this Will means all persons who are
descended from the person referred to, either by legitimate birth to or
adoption by that person or any of that descendant's legitimately born or
legally adopted descendants.
INTENTIONAL OMISSION - I have intentionally omitted to provide for any relative
or other person, not named as a beneficiary, under this my Last Will and
Testament, whether claiming to be an heir of mine or not, unless otherwise
provided for in this my Last Will and Testament.

permissible under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. I direct that no bond

court relative to the administration of my estate other than to prove and
record this Will and to return an inventory, appraisal and list of claims of my
estate.
ITEM 8
My Executor shall have the following powers, which are to be construed in
the broadest manner consistent with the validity of this Will and with their
duties as fiduciaries. The powers stated herein are not intended to be
exclusive, but shall be in addition to those granted by law and shall also
pertain to any administrators or trustees who succeed the fiduciaries I have
appointed. These powers are:
a. to take possession of property, to keep it safely, and to
segregate it from other property owned or held by the fiduciary;

options upon, partition and otherwise dispose of real or personal property, at
private or public sale, for cash or upon whatever terms the fiduciary deems

or readily marketable securities of little or no yield for such period as my

e. to borrow in the name of my estate or of the trust, upon whatever
terms and conditions and for whatever periods my fiduciary deems advisable for
the purpose of preserving, protecting or improving property held by him;

claims held by my fiduciary and claims asserted against my fiduciary, on
whatever terms he deems advisable, without prior court authority;
g. to distribute in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in
kind, in divided or undivided interests, notwithstanding the fact that
distributive shares may as a result be composed differently;

and in the amounts he, in his discretion, deems expedient, and to obtain and
pay for life, health, liability and other forms of insurance for the
beneficiaries of the trust, in his discretion;
i. to employ attorneys, accountants, investment advisors and other
professional assistants including depositaries, proxies, agents, and
appraisers;
j. to enter into transactions with other fiduciaries including
executors or trustees of estates and trusts in which my beneficiaries have an
interest, and including him as fiduciary for other estates and trusts;
V to engage in the powers necessary to the effective administration
of corporate securities, including, without limiting the generality of this
power:

by the fiduciary;

respect to securities;

Q€:
3. power to consent or become a party to, or participate in;

these adjustments involve payments by or to the fiduciary; and
4. power to hold securities in unregistered form or in the name
of a nominee;
1. to pay himself reasonable compensation for his services.
ITEM 8
If any part of this Will, or any trust hereby created, shall be invalid,
illegal, or inoperative, for any reason, it is my intention that the remaining
parts, so far as possible and reasonable, shall be effective and fully
operative. My Executor may seek and obtain court instructions for the purpose
of carrying out as nearly as may be possible the intention of this Will shown
by the terms hereof, including the term held invalid, illegal or inoperative.
ITEM 9
Either I or my spouse have served in the Armed Forces of the United
States. Therefore, I direct my Executor to consult the Legal Assistance
Officer at the nearest military installation to ascertain if there are any
benefits to which my estate or my descendants are entitled by virtue of such
service. Regardless of my military status at the time of my death, I direct my
Executor to consult with the nearest Veteran's Administration Office to
ascertain if there are any benefits to which my survivors may be entitled.
ITEM 10
I have made, or may from time to time make, a written memorandum expressing
my desire to give certain items of personal property to specific persons. I
urge my E>:ecutor and beneficiaries to respect these wishes. Such a memorandum,
if made, shall be stored in conjunction with this Will.
