LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
MARY F. ST AMY
I, Mary F. Stamy, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound
mind, memory and understanding, do hereby make, publish and declare this as and for
my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other wills and codicils heretofore
made by me.
FIRST
I direct the payment of my debts and the expenses of my last illness and
funeral from my estate as soon after my death as conveniently may be done. If there- .
be no cemetery lot available for my interment, owned by me at the time of my death, I
authorize my personal representative to purchase such cemetery lot with a contract for
perpetual care; using therefore funds from my estate, and I authorize my personal
representative to cause title to or ownership of such lot so purchased to be vested in
such person as my personal representative shall designate.
Further, in this connection, I authorize my personal representative to
expend funds from my estate, in such amount as my personal representative shall
consider necessary and desirable, for the purchase, erection and inscription of a
suitable marker for my grave. It is my desire that the expenses associated with my
funeral be extremely modest with a very simple casket.

SECOND
I give the sum of $2,000.00 to my grand-daughter Kristen E. Stamy.
I give, devise and bequeath the remainder of my entire estate of whatever
nature and wherever situate to my son Spencer A. Stamy. I purposefully leave no
portion of my estate to any of my other children. Should my son Spencer fail to survive
me and I am unable to execute a subsequent testamentary disposition, by reason of
illness, incapacity or otherwise, then I direct that the remainder of my estate be
distributed as foilows:
A. The sum of $100,000 to the Gilford Brethren in Christ Church, Gilford
Township, Franklin County, as an endowment named The John F. Stamy Endowment,
with the further restriction that the income only be distributed for the maintenance of the
cemetery, with any excess income after maintenance used for general church needs
and not for any manse expenses.
B. The sum of $100,000 to the Big Spring Presbyterian Church, Newville,
Cumberland County, as an endowment named The Mary F. Stamy Endowment, with
the further restriction that the income only be distributed for the maintenance of the
church cemetery, with any excess income after maintenance used for general church
needs and not for any manse expenses.
C. The sum of $20,000 to Victor Herman Negley, should he survive me.
D. The remaining balance of my estate shall be equally divided among the
following: Bethesda Mission, Salvation Army, Humane Society of Pennsylvania,
Newville Friendship Fire and Ambulance Company, Newville Area Community Chest,
Pennsylvania Forestry Association, the Pennsylvania chapter of The American Tree
Farm System and Nealy Land Farms, Inc.
THIRD
I direct that no trustee, executor, guardian or other fiduciary named,
nominated, or appointed by this my Last Will and Testament shall be required to post
any bond or give any security of any type for any purpose whatsoever, any law or rule
of the court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other jurisdiction to the
contrary notwithstanding. I direct that the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
shall apply to any interpretation or application of the validity of this instrument.
FOURTH
My executor and/or trustee shall have the following powers in addition to
those vested in them by law and by other provisions of this Will, applicable to all
property, real, personal or mixed and wheresoever situate,
including property held for minors, whether principal or income, exercisable without
court approval, and effective, with respect to each item of said property until actual
distribution thereof.
A) To retain, as investments of my estate or trust, any or all assets of my
estate, real, personal, or mixed, without regard to any principal of diversification, and to
purchase and acquire real or personal property and to hold any or all of such real and
personal property retained or acquired without making the same productive of income.
.1
B) To permit the children, or any of them, to occupy any real estate
retained or acquired upon such terms and conditions as my executor or trustee shall
deem proper.
C) To pay all taxes, charges and expenses of maintenance, upkeep,
improvements, development, protection, preservation and investment of any retained or
acquired real or personal property, such payments to be made from either principal or
income as my executor or trustee shall determine.
D) To retain or invest any and all funds, whether principal or income, in
any real or personal property without restriction to legal investments; to purchase
investments at premiums; to exercise all rights of a security holder or share holder in
any corporation; and to lease, mortgage, pledge, give options upon or sell at public or
private sale and without approval of any court, any real or personal property, or portion
or portions thereof, irrespective of the manner or the means by which the same was
acquired by my said executor or trustee.
E) To make payment or distribution herein provided for in cash, kind or
partly in cash and partly in kind, at valuations fixed by my executor or trustee at the time
of distribution.
FIFTH
Any and all payment or payments of any sum or sums, whether in cash or
in kind and whether for principal or income, payable to an heir, or any of them, shall be
made upon the sole receipt of the respective individual to whom the payment is made,
and free from anticipation, alienation, assignment, attachment, and pledge, and free
from control by the creditors of any such beneficiary.
SIXTH
I appoint Spencer A. Stamy, Executor of this my Last Will and Testament.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal to this,
my Last Will and Testament, consisting of six (6) typewritten pages, the first four (4) of
which bear my signature in the margin for the purpose of identification, this 7f1j day of
