I hereby revoke any and:" all wills and codicils by me heretofore made. c::; I IDENTIFICATIONS AND DEFINITIONS A. I am married to EMMA M. SPARMBLACK, hereinafter referred to as "my Spouse." We have two (2) children, EUSTENA N. ECKENRODE and LEE E. SPARMBLACK, JR. Reference in this Will to "my Children" include these two (2) children and other lawful children born to or adopted by me. B. The following definitions obtain in any use of the terms in this Will: 1. "Desce.ndants" means the immediate and remote lawful, lineal descendants of the person referred to, and it means those descendants in being at the time they must be ascertained in order to give effect to the reference to them, whether they are born before or after my death or of any other per- son. The persons who take under this Will as Descendants shall take by right of representation, in accordance with the rule of per stirpes distri- bution and not in accordance with the rule of per capita distribution. Persons legally adopted when under the age of fourteen years shall not be dif- ferentiated from blood descendants for any purpose. Page 1 of 4 Pages 2. "Survive me" is to be construed to mean that the person referred to must survive me by thirty days. If the person referred to dies within thirty days of my death, the reference to him shall be construed as if he had failed to survive me. 3. As used in this Will, the words "Executor," "he," "him," "his," and the like shall be taken as generic and applicable to a natural person of either sex or a corporate person or other legal entity. c. I have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Therefore, I direct my Executor to consult the legal assistance office at the nearest military installation to ascertain if there are any benefits to which my dependents are entitled by virtue of my military affiliation at the time of my death. Regardless of my military status at the time of my death, I direct my Executor to consult with the nearest Veterans Administration and Social Security Administration office to ascertain if there are any bene- fits to which my dependents may be entitled. II PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND TAXES I direct my Executor to pay the following as soon after my death as may be practicable: 1. 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. 2. 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 the purpose of computing taxes. My Executor shall not require any benefi- ciary under this will to reimburse my estate for taxes paid on property passing under the terms of this Will. Page 2 of 4 Pages III RESIDUARY ESTATE A. I define "my Residuary Estate" as all of my property after the payment of debts and taxes under Article II above, including real and personal property, whenever acquired by me, property as to which effective disposition is not otherwise made in this Will, and property as to which I have an option to purchase or a rever- sionary interest. B. I give my Residuary Estate to my Spouse if she survives me. C. If my Spouse does not survive me, I direct my Executor to divide my Residuary Estate into equal shares and to distribute those shares as follows: 1. one share to each of my Children who survive me; 2. if any of my Children fail to survive me, then his or her share shall be distributed among his or her descendants who survive me; 3. if any of my Children fail to survive me and leave no descendants who survive me, then his or her share shall be divided equally among such of my Children who survive me, or their descendants who survive me, as set forth in subparagraphs I and 2 above. IV APPOINTMENT AND POWERS OF EXECUTOR I nominate and appoint my Spouse, EMMA M. SPARMBLACK, as Executor of this my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. If EMMA M. SPARMBLACK is unable or unwilling to serve in this capacity, I appoint my daughter EUSTENA N. ECKENRODE of Annville, Pennsylvania, and my son LEE E. SPARMBLACK, JR., to serve instead. I request that my Executor be permitted to serve without bond or surety thereon. I authorize my Executor to do any and all things which in his opinion are necessary to complete the administration and settlement of my estate, including full right, power and authority, without the order of any court and upon such terms and under such conditions as my Executor shall deem best for the proper settlement of my estate; to bargain, sell at public or pri- vate sale, convey, transfer, deed, mortgage, lease, exchange, pledge, manage and deal with any and all property belonging to my estate; to compromise, settle, adjust, release and discharge any and all obligations or claims in favor of or against my estate; and to borrow money for the payment of inheritance and estate taxes or for any other purpose. Without in any way limiting the Page 3 of 4 Pages scope of the powers enumerated herein of my Executor, I hereby specifically give to him full power to retain any and all securi- ties or property owned by me at the time of my decease whenever, in his absolute and uncontrolled discretion, such a course shall seem to him to be best, without liability for depreciation or loss, and free from investment restrictions incident to execu- torship, whether imposed by common law or statute. In the execu- tion of of his duties and powers as Executor he shall have the power to comply with all legal requirements as to the execution and delivery of deeds and all other writings, documents or for- malities without the order of any court; and he shall furnish a statement of receipts and disbursements at least annually to each person then entitled to receive income or property from my estate. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, this 8th day of March 1984, set my hand and seal to this my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT consisting of four (4) typewritten pages. ,/ - (:~ LEE ~JkL( SEAL) BLACK, Testator Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Testator, LEE EDWARD SPARMBLACK, as and for his LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, in the presence of us, who, at his request, in his presence and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as wit- nesses.
