LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
EMMA M. SPARMBLACK
I, EMMA M. SPARMBLACK, a legal domiciliary of Cumberland
County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing
mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this instru-
ment to be my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. I hereby revoke any and
all wills and codicils by me heretofore made.
I
IDENTIFICATIONS AND DEFINITIONS
A. I am married to LEE EDWARD 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. "Descendants" 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.

.' ..
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.
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 he 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 1 and 2
above.
IV
APPOINTMENT AND POWERS OF EXECUTOR
I nominate and appoint my Spouse, LEE EDWARD SPARMBLACK, as
Executor of this my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. If LEE EDWARD
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 administraticn
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

.. ".
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.
