hereby revoking all wills and Codicils by me at any time hereto-
fore made.
ITEM I:
I direct that all inheritance and estate
taxes becoming due by reason of my death, whether such taxes may
be payable by my estate or by any recipient of any property, shall
be paid by my Executrix out of the property passing under this
Will, which is not specifically devised or bequeathed, as an
expense or cost of administration of my estate. My Executrix
I shall have no duty or obligation to obtain reimbursement for
any such tax paid even though on proceeds of insurance or other
property not passing under this Will.
ITEM II:
I hereby exercise all other powers of
appointment which I may have at the time of my death in favor
of my Executrix, and all assets subject to all such powers of
appointment shall be distributed to my Executrix in her fiduciary

absolutely and in fee. However, in the event that my beloved
wife, Carole D. Baker, should predecease me, then in that
event, I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate, whether
real, personal or mixed, of whatsoever kind and wheresoever
situate, in equal shares, to my children, Brian Ronald Baker and
Jason Robert Baker, per stirpes.
ITEM IV: In the event that my sons, Brian and
Jason, shall be under eighteen (18) years of age at the time of
my death, and entitled to receive any portion of my estate, I
direct the payment of his interest in my estate be made to his
legally appointed guardian. Any legacy or share to which my sons,
Brian and Jason, may become entitled from my estate or from any
life insurance which I may have may be invested or retained in a
bank account or accounts as to the said guardian, in its sole
discretion, it may deem advisable; and I authorize it to apply
such parts of the income and principal as unto it, in its
sole discretion, it may appear to be necessary for the education
and maintenance of my sons, Brian and Jason, and any balance
remaining in the hands of the said guardian shall be paid to my
sons, Brian and Jason, when they attain the age of eighteen (18)
years.
ITEM V: In the settlement of my estate, my

and to consummate said sale or sales by sufficient
deeds or other instruments to the purchaser or

purchaser or purchasers to see to the application
of the purchase money or to make inquiry into the
validity of said sale or sales; also, to make,
execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all deeds,
assignments, options or other writings which may be
necessary or desirable, in carrying out any of the

or elsewhere in my Will.

To pay all costs, taxes, expenses and
charges ln connection with the administration of my

distribution.
( d)
To do all other acts in the Executrix's
judgment deemed necessary or desirable for the proper
and advantageous management, investment and distri-
bution of my estate.
ITEM VI:
If my wife, Carole D. Baker, shall die
within a period of ninety days after my death, I do direct that
she shall be deemed to have predeceased me and that the pro-
visions of my Will shall be construed upon that assumption.
