I, CLETUS F. EBERSOLE, now domiciled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
declare this to be my Last Will and Testament. I revoke all other wills and codicils that I may
have previously made.
Article I
My just debts and expenses of my last illness, funeral, and administration of my estate
shall be paid by my Executor from the principal of my residuary estate as soon as practicable
after my death.
Article II
All inheritance, estate, and succession taxes (including interest and penalties thereon, but
not including any generation skipping tax) payable by reason of my death shall be paid out of
and be charged generally against the principal of my residuary estate without reimbursement
from any person. This provision is not a waiver of any right which my Executor has to claim
reimbursement for any such taxes which become payable as the result of any property over
which I have the power of appointment.
Article III
I give, devise and bequeath my tangible personal property to my wife, HELEN MARIE
EBERSOLE. In the event HELEN MARIE EBERSOLE predeceases me or fails to survive
me by thirty (30) days, then I give, devise and bequeath my tangible personal property in
accordance with any memorandum I have handwritten or signed, located with my will or with
my valuable papers and found within 30 days of the probate of my will. Gifts may only be to
persons who survive me or to organizations which exist at my death, and if there is a conflict, the
memorandum having the latest date shall govern. To the extent no such memorandum is found,
or all of my tangible personal property is not disposed of pursuant thereto, my tangible personal
property shall be added to my residuary estate and pass under Article IV hereof.
Article IV
All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever
situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my wife, HELEN MARIE EBERSOLE, of Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
In the event that HELEN MARIE EBERSOLE predeceases me or fails to survive me
by thirty (30) days, I give, devise, and bequeath as follows:
A. TWENTY THOUSAND ($20,000.00) DOLLARS to my friend, CANDACE A.

and GENEVIEVE ROUDABUSH, of Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, per capita;
E. TWENTY THOUSAND ($20,000.00) DOLLARS to my sister-in-law,

Article V
I nominate, constitute and appoint my friend, MARIE E. SHEAFFER, of Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania as Executrix of my Last Will and Testament. In the event of the
renunciation, death, or inability to act, for any reason whatsoever of my Executrix, I nominate,
constitute and appoint my friend, H. DAN STURM, as successor Executor of my Last Will and
Testament. I direct that my Executrix or successor Executor be permitted to serve without bond.
In addition to those powers granted by law, I grant them power to distribute in cash or in kind, in
like or in unlike shares, and to file any qualified disclaimer I could have filed if living. My
Executrix or successor Executor shall receive reasonable compensation for services rendered to
my estate.
Article VI
In addition to the powers conferred by law, I authorize my Executrix and successor
Executor, in his/her absolute discretion:
(a) to retain in the form received and to sell either at public or private sale, any real
estate or personal property except that which I specifically bequeath herein,
(b) to manage real estate,
(c) to invest and reinvest in all forms of property without being confined to legal
investments, and without regard to the principal of diversification,
(d) to exercise any option or right arising from the ownership of investments,
(e) to compromise claims without court approval and without consent of any
beneficiary,
(f) to file any federal income tax return for any year for which I have not filed such
return prior to my death,

(g) to make distributions in cash or in kind, or in both, and to determine the value of
any such property,
(h) to employ any attorney, investment advisor, or other agent deemed necessary by
my Executrix or successor Executor; and to pay from my estate reasonable compensation for all
their services,
(i) to conduct alone or with others, any business in which I am engaged in, or have
an interest in at time of my death, and
