LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
I, DORIS B. HAMSHER, of the Borough of Mechanicsburg, County of Cumberland, and
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and
understanding, do make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby
revoking and making void all former wills and codicils by me at anytime heretofore made.
FIRST. I order and direct that all my just debts and funeral exp~es be pa~by my

-.-"" c.n '_" C', "-,
personal and mixed, whatsoever and wheresoever situated, be converted into casl1'5r other '
distributable form as soon as practicable after my death, which shall be distributed and disposed
of as follows:
A. I give and bequeath unto each of my great grand-children living at the
time of my death, a sum of money equal to one (1) per centum of my net distributable
residuary estate. In the event that any such beneficiary is a minor at the time of my death,
I authorize and empower my Executrix or Executor, as the case may be, to accept a
receipt and release from the beneficiary's parents on behalf of the beneficiary, in lieu of a
formal guardianship or trust.
B. I order and direct that the balance of my residuary estate be divided into
four (4) equal parts, which parts shall be distributed and disposed of as follows:
(1) I give and bequeath two (2) such parts of my residuary estate unto
my daughter, namely GAIL H. TRUE, absolutely, ifshe survives me. Ifmy said
daughter should predecease me, I order and direct that said bequest shall lapse and
the subject matter thereof shall be added to and distributed in accordance with
subparagraph (2) hereinbelow.
(2)
I give and bequeath one (1) such equal part unto each of my two (2)
grandchildren, namely, KRISTIN NOEL TRUE and PHILIP MICHAEL
HAMSHER TRUE, absolutely. If either of my said grandchildren should
predecease me and leave issue to survive me, larder and direct that the share
attributable to such deceased beneficiary shall be distributed unto his or her issue
per stirpes by representation and not per capita. If any such alternative
beneficiary has not attained the age of twenty-three (23) years at the time of
distribution, I order, direct, authorize and empower my Executrix or Executor, as
the case may be, to pay-over and distribute any such distributable amount to the
surviving parent of the beneficiary in trust, nevertheless, to hold, invest, reinvest
and accumulate income for said beneficiary until said beneficiary attains the age
oftwenty-three (23) years, at which time said trust shall be terminated and the
then balance thereof shall be paid over and delivered unto the beneficiary
absolutely.
LASTLY. I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, namely, GAIL H. TRUE, to
be the Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testament, but if for any reason my said daughter
should fail to qualify as such Executrix or cease so to serve, then and in that event, I nominate,
constitute and appoint my son-in-law, namely, MICHAEL D. TRUE, to be the Executor hereof,
each and both to serve without bond or other security as a condition of qualification hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, DORIS B. HAMSHER, have hereunto set my hand and
seal to this my Last Will and Testament, which consists of two (2) typewritten pages to each of
which I have affixed my signature this 22nd day of October, A.D., Two Thousand One (2001).
