FIRST
I direct that all my just debts and the expenses of
my last illness and funeral shall be paid from the assets of
my estate as soon as practicable after my decease.
I authorize my personal representative to expend funds
from my estate, in such amounts as my personal representat i ve
shall consider necessary and desirable, for the cremation of my
body and all suitable and appropriate expenses related thereto.
SECOND
I give and bequeath all automobiles, household effects
and other tangible personal property, not including cash or
securities, owned by me at my death, together with all policies
of insurance thereon, to my daugh ter, LYNN C. FITZPATRICK, of
Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, providing that she is living on
the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of my death.
Should my

CRAE FITZPATRICK and SHEA DENNIS FITZPATRICK, to be divided
between or among them as they shall agree, any children who are
then minors to be represented in such agreement by my Executrix.
In the event that no agreement is reached, the said personalty
shall be sold, in whole or in part, as my personal representa-
t i ve shall determi ne, and the proceeds shall become a part of
my residuary estate. Any item of personalty passing to a minor
under th is paragraph may be deli vered to the minor or to any

person to hold for the minor, as my Executrix thinks advisable,
and the receipt of any such person, including the minor, shall
constitute a full and complete discharge to my Executrix.
I give, devise and bequeath the residue of my estate,
L--
of every nature and wherever situate, to my daughter, LYNN C. r
FITZPATRICK, provided that she is living on the sixtieth (60th) ~
day after the date of my death. I n the event my daughter, Lynn

E~qual shares, to my grandchildren, DANIEL CRAE FITZPATRICK and
SHEA DENNIS FITZPATRICK, the share of any grandch ild who does
not survive me to pass to his living descendants, per stirpes,
or in the absence of any living descendants, to his brother or
his living descendants.
Should his brother not be living nor

or her entire principal share, then such share
shall be distributed as follows:
1. To such issue's then living descendants,
per st i rpes, absolu tely; or in def au 1 t of
such descendants,
2. To such issue's siblings or their living
descendants. Should no siblings be living nor
have any living descendants, the share shall
pass to the original issue's lawful heirs, to
be determined as if such child died intestate
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at the
time set for distribution (the share thus
accruing to any issue of mine for whom my
trustee then holds assets in trust hereunder
shall be added to such trust and thereafter
held as though originally forming a part
thereof).
E. Any income or principal payable to a beneficiary
under this Item Fourth may be accumulated or
expended for the education of such beneficiary
as the trustee, in its sole discretion, may
determine.

to the beneficiaries, shall be free of the debts, contracts,
ass ignments, alienat ions and ant icipat ions of any benef iciary,
and the same shall not be subject to any levy, attachment,
execution or sequestration.
