* Attempts to locate Bonita A. Johnson, including a hearing on a Petition to Establish Death
of Absentee on June 30, 2006, with prior legal advertisement of same three times, in the local
newspaper and county legal jomnal, have failed to locate Bonita A. Johnson. Bonita A.
Johnson's share of the residuary estate represents 10%- of the residue, as set forth in the Last
Will and Testament of Ruth P. Helmick. The amount as set forth in the Proposed Distribution
above has subtracted from her share the additional attorney's fees and costs incurred with the
past and reserved for anticipated future attempts to locate Bonita A. Johnson, including the
hearing before Judge Todd A. Hoover, Orphans' Court, Dauphin County, on the petition to
establish the death of Bonita A. J 6hnson. (Dauphin County was the last county of residence
of Bonita A. Johnson.) Judge Hoover denied the Petition and advised that the distribution to
Bonita A. Johnson should be held in escrow for her, in an interest bearing account, pending
her appearance, or later date for another hearing to have her declared deceased as of the date
of death of Ruth P. Helmick.
The Executrix is respectfully proposing that all residuary bequests be paid with the exception
of the one to Bonita A. Johnson, which amount as set forth above will be placed-in an
interest bearing account at a financial institution insured by the FDIC.
