LAST WIlL AND TESTAMENT
OF
RUTH E. COULSON
I, RUTH E. COULSON, of the Borough of Lemoyne, County of
Cumberland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being of sound and
disposing mind and memory, and not acting under undue influence
of any person whomsoever, do make, publish and declare this instru-
ment to be my Last Will and Testament, in manner and form following.
FIRST: I hereby expressly revoke all wills, codicils and
testamentary writings of whatsoever kind and nature heretofore
made by me.
SECOND: I hereby direct my Executrices, hereinafter named,
to pay all my just debts, expenses of administration and funeral
expenses out of my estate, as soon as is practicable after my de-
cease.
THIRD: I give and bequeath unto my grandson, GEORGE R. BOYER,
JR., the antique clock from my late husband's family.
FOURTH: I give and bequeath the sum of FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00)
DOLLARS unto my grandson, GEORGE R. BOYER, JR. In the event my said
grandson shall be a minor at the time of my decease, I direct that
said sum shall be paid to his mother, LOUISE C. BOYER, to be invested
by her and to be used by her together with the interest earned thereon
for the support, education and well-being of my said grandson.
FIFTH: I give and bequeath all of my personal effects, jewelry,
clothing and furniture unto my daughters, LOUISE C. BOYER, BAR~ C.
RUSSELL and JOANN C. GIEHLER, to be divided equally among them as
they see fit.
SIXTH: I hereby direct that gifts heretofore given to me by
my daughters, LOUISE C. BOYER, BARBARA C. RUSSELL and JOANN C. GIEHLER,
should be returned to them if they so desire. My daughters have
knowledge of the gifts given to me. If they do not desire a return
of any or all of the gifts, such not accepted by them shall be a part
of my general estate.
'"., ~
SEVENTH: All the rest, residue and remainder of my property,
real, personal and mixed, of which I may die seized or possessed,
or over which I may have the power of testamentary disposition, of
whatsoever kind and wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath
unto my daughters, LOUISE C. BOYER, ~ C. RUSSELL and JOANN C.
GIEBLER, share and share alike, per stirpes.
EIGtITH: I hereby direct that all estate, inheritance, transfer
and succession taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death
of whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction imposed, shall be
paid out of the principal of my general estate to the same effect as
if said taxes were expenses of administration.
NINTH: I hereby direct that my Executrices shall not be re-
quired to give bond, or other security, required by law or otherwise,
for the faithful performance of their duties as Executrices.
TENTH: I hereby give unto my Executrices, or the survivor of
them, hereinafter named, the fullest power and authority in all
matters and questions pertaining to the administration of my estate,
executing the provisions of this my Last Will and Testament, includ-
ing, but not by way of limitation, the power and authority to deter-
mine all doubtful questions which may arise in the construction of
this my Last Will and Testament; I further hereby authorize and em-
power my Executrices, pending settlement of my estate, to sell, convey,
mortgage, lease, exchange, encumber or otherwise dispose of any and
all of the property, real, personal or mixed, at any time belonging
to my estate, either at public or private sale, without prior approval
of any court, and at such times and for such price or prices and in
any such case upon such terms as they may think best in their discre-
tion, and I authorize and empower my said Executrices to execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the purchasers, grantees, mortgagees, ven-
dees, assignees, or other persons, such contracts, deeds, mortgages,
bonds, bills of sale, and all other instruments of writing necessary
or proper without obligation upon the latter to see to the proper
application of the proceeds. They shall also have the power to com-
promise or otherwise to settle or adjust any and all claims, charges,
debts and demands whatsoever against, or in favor of, my estate as
fully as I could do if living. They shall further be empowered to
carryon and conduct any business enterprise in which I may be engaged
at my death, to retain any assets, including stocks or securities
which I may own at the time of my death, pending the settlement of my
estate, without regard as to whether or not such assets or securities
are legal investments for fiduciaries. Pending settlement of my
-2-
~, ~, ,,'~
estate, they shall also have the authority in their discretion to
convert, sell, exchange or dispose of such assets and securities
either for cash or for terms satisfactory to them and to acquire
other assets without limitation to securities or investments as may
be declared legal for investment by fiduciaries. They shall further
be empowered to borrow money, and to pledge assets of my estate as
security therefor, for the purpose of paying taxes which may be levied
upon or payable by my estate, in accordance with this Will in the
event that funds in the hands of my Executrices shall be insufficient
to pay such taxes, and if, in the opinion of my Executrices it appears
that conversion of securities and other assets, real and personal,
would then be made at a sacrifice.
~~H: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my daughters,
LOUISE C. BOYER, BAR~ C. RUSSELL and JOANN C. GIEHLER, to be Ex-
ecutrices of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event of the
decease of anyone of my said daughters, then I hereby nominate, con-
stitute and appoint the survivor or survivors of them to be Executrices
of this my Last Will and Testament.
IN WIT~~SS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this
~ day of April, A.D., 1964.
