FIRST I order and direct my Executor hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts, funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate, including all taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, as soon after my death as is reasonably possible from the proceeds and assets of my estate prior to any other distributions. However, my Executor need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. I have already secured a burial plot and grave marker at the Newville Cemetery, Newville, Pennsylvania, and direct that my remains be interred there. GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law 200 N.

It is further my desire that my Executor/Executrix, after consultation with any heir or heirs of mine who survive me, and in his, her or its own discretion, choose such articles from my tangible personal property (exclusive of cash, stock certificates, bonds, and all other tangible evidences of intangible personal property) as he, she or it believes will be useful to such heir or heirs or desirable for him or her or them to have, either from a sentimental point of view or otherwise, and to deliver such articles to such heir or heirs or among such heirs in equal or unequal shares as determined by the further exercise of his, her or its discretion, provided no other heir objects to the distribution. All tangible personal property not so distributed is to be sold, either publicly or privately, by my Executor/Executrix, adding the proceeds of such sale or sales to my residuary estate and to be disposed of in equal shares among my surviving heirs after payment of my estate debts, taking into account the tangible personal property otherwise provided to them.
