,.~ c~
I, JACK E. HENRY, of New Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of
sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do hereby make, publish and declare this as
and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void any and all Wills or
Codicils at any time heretofore made by me.
ARTICLE I
DEBTS
I direct the payment of all my legal debts, and the expenses of my last illness and funeral
from my Estate as soon after my death as conveniently may be done.
ARTICLE II
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
I give and bequeath my household goods, personal effects and other tangible personalty of
like nature, unto those of my children, HILDA D. CHRISTOPHEL, MICHELLE L.
NOVOSEL, JOHN P. HENRY and PATRICIA HENRY, who survive me, to be divided among
them in as nearly equal shares as is practicable. Should there be a dispute as to the disposition of
any item or items, I direct that my Personal Representative shall make the final determination as to
disposition of such item or items.
ARTICLE III
REST, RESIDUE AND REMAINDER
I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my Estate, of whatsoever
nature and wheresoever situate, in equal shares unto my children, HILDA D. CHRISTOPHEL,
MICHELLE L. NOVOSEL, JOHN P. HENRY and PATRICIA HENRY, provided that should
any child predecease me, I give, devise and bequeath such deceased child's share unto his or her
then-living issues, per stirpes.
I intentionally include no provision for distribution of my Estate or any part thereof unto my
wife, Minerva P. Henry, since she has, at the time of the preparation of this Will, willfully neglected
and refused to perform her duties to support me and has willfully deserted me.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTION TO BENEFICIARIES UNDER THE AGE OF 25 /
INCAPACITATED BENEFICIARIES
Whenever my Personal Representative is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit
of any beneficiary who is under (a) twenty-five years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise
suffers from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to such
beneficiary inappropriate (as determined in my Personal Representative's sole discretion exercised
in good faith), my Personal Representative may distribute such property to the person who has
custody of such beneficiary, may apply such property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may
distribute such property to a custodian for such beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and
appointed by my Personal Representative (including my Personal Representative), under any
2
applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act - or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, or may distribute
such property directly to such beneficiary without liability on the part of my Personal
Representative to see to the application of such property. This provision shall not in any way
operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such property or to prevent the
absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
ARTICLE V
POWERS OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
My Personal Representative(s) shall have the following powers in addition to those vested
in them by law and by other provisions of my Will applicable to all property, whether principal or
income, including property held for minors, exercisable without court approval and effective until
actual distribution of all property:
A. To make distribution in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, and in
such manner as they may determine.
B. To retain any or all of the assets of my estate, real or personal, without restriction to
investments authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as they deem proper, without
regard to any principle of diversification or risk.
C. To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments authorized for
Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as they deem proper, without regard to any principle of
diversification or risk.
D. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange, or to lease for any period of time any
real or personal property and to give options for sales, exchanges or leases, for such
prices and upon such terms or conditions as they deem proper.
3
E. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or partly to each as they
from time to time think proper.
F. To compromise any claim or controversy.
G. To make such elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in connection with
all income, estate, inheritance, gift, generation skipping or other tax refunds and the
payment of such taxes without obligation to adjust the distributed share of any
person thereby affected.
ARTICLE VI
APPOINTMENT OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
I name, constitute and appoint my daughter, HILDA D. CHRISTOPHEL, Executrix of
this my Last Will and Testament. Should my daughter, HILDA D. CHRISTOPHEL, fail to
qualify or cease to so act, I name, constitute and appoint my daughter, MICHELLE L.
NOVOSEL, alternate Executrix to complete the administration of my Estate. I direct that no
fiduciary appointed herein shall be required to post bond for the faithful administration of the duties
required in any jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal to this, my Last Will and
Testament, this ~ `~ day of , 2007.
