FIRST I direct the payment of my debts and expenses of my last illness and funeral from my estate as soon after my death as conveniently may be done. It is my wish to be cremated. If there be no available for my interment, owned by me at the time of my death, I authorize my personal representative to purchase such interment space with a contract for perpetual care, using therefore funds from my estate, in such amount as my personal representative shall consider necessary and desirable, and I authorize my personal representative to cause title to or ownership of the interment space 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 final resting place. ::0 -0 I'M"~" rnO (;')0 rr; ::0 ':'1 (::J f' ,....~ '"'"t""' ~':~j ~:j <':)0 ~n ~'n ~._ -n ::S',;C) ~= (Tl (:.1.....) ~-) :::y., SECOND To my sons, TIMOTHY R. STINE and DANIEL J. STINE, I give and bequeath my firearms, same to be divided between them as they shall agree between themselves. To my son, DANIEL J. STINE, I give and bequeath any books which I may own and which he desires. In the event that any of my other children do not desire any of the remaining '--J ~ books, I then direct that any books which he does not desire be given to the annual Legal ) ,,' ------ ---.,. ~ ,~ 1\J~~ ......... ':'--.. Services book sale at Wilson College, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. To Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, I give and bequeath the sum of Five Thousand Dollars [$5,000] for the maintenance and use of the parish library. To Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, I give and bequeath the additional sum of Five Thousand Dollars [$5,000] towards the establishment of the Doris E. Stine Memorial Endowment for the maintenance and preservation of the Parish Life Center, care of the memorial gardens; and the preservation and maintenance of the colum- barium at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church. It is my intention that this bequest is to taken together with funds to be received from The Episcopal Church Foundation charitable gift annuity at my death [which annuity designates this fund as its beneficiary] to fund the Doris E. Stine Memorial Endowment. No invasion of principal of the Doris E. Stine Memorial Endowment fund is authorized; only income therefrom is to be utilized for the stated purposes. To the SALVATION ARMY I give and bequeath the sum of Two Thousand Dollars [$2,000]. Page 2 of 9 ~ o ~ r THIRD I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, in equal shares, unto such of my children as shall survive me by sixty (60) days, provided, however, that if a child of mine does not survive me by sixty (60) days, the share which that child would have received is bequeathed to that child's issue, per stirpes. It is my wish and desire that my farm remain in my family if at all possible. Towards that end, I give my children the first option to purchase the farm from my estate. In the event that more than one child wishes to purchase the farm, I direct that my executor shall allow those children wishing the farm to bid thereon. FOURTH I direct that any and all Inheritance, Estate and Transfer Taxes imposed upon my estate passing under my will or otherwise, shall be paid out of the principal of my residuary estate. FIFTH In addition to the powers conferred by law, I authorize my Executor, in his or her absolute discretion: (a) to retain in the form received, and to sell either at public or private sale any real or personal property; (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 principle of diversification; (d) to exercise any option or rights arising from ownership of investments; Page 3 of 9 '~ ~ ~ ,--.... 1--" ~ ~ ,\ f (e) to compromise claims without court approval, and without the consent of any beneficiary, and to abandon any property which, in my Executor's opinion, is of little or no value; (f) to file any state or federal income tax return for any year for which I have not filed such return prior to my death. SIXTH I appoint M& T Bank of Buffalo, New York, guardian of any property, including but not limited to all proceeds of insurance on my life, which passes to a minor and with respect to which I am authorized to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so. In addition to the powers given by law, I authorize the guardian of the property: (a) to use such amounts of both income and principal as they in their sole discretion deem proper for the support, education and welfare of such minor without leave of any Court; (b) to invest in any property without leave of any Court; (c) to invest in any property without restriction to legal investments. The guardian shall not be required to give bond or furnish sureties in any jurisdiction, and shall hold the property IN TRUST for the minor. I hereby direct majority to be defined as the age of twenty-one [21] and that no funds be turned over to the minor or adult until they attain the age of twenty-one [21] years. Page 4 of 9 ~ \ ~ i~ f\ ~ )' If my trustee, in its sole discretion, determines that it is desirable to do so, my trustee may end any trust under this deed. This may be done by paying the then-remaining principal and income of that trust to the person then eligible to receive the income. If any person is a minor or is, in my trustee's opinion, disabled by illness or other cause and unable to properly manage the funds, my trustee may pay the funds to his or her guardian or to any person or organization taking care of the person. In the case of a minor, my trustee also may deposit the funds in an interest bearing account in the minor's name payable to the minor at majority, or appoint and pay the funds to a custodian for the minor under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. My trustee shall have no further responsibility for funds so paid or deposited. I further direct my trustee distribute his or hershare of the corpus and any accumulated earnings to the beneficiary upon the attainment of their majority. SEVENTH Provided always, and I do hereby declare my will to be, that if any person or persons to whom any estate or interest is given or limited by this my will shall, in any court of law or equity, or otherwise, controvert the same, or dispute or call in question the validity hereof, or of any of the estates, limitations, powers, provisos, or dispositions hereby limited or given, or made, or herein contained, then and in such case the estates, interests, limitations, &c., so hereby limited, &c., to or in favor of such person or persons so controverting my said will, shall cease, determine, and be absolutely void to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as if such person or persons was or were naturally dead. And then and from thenceforth such estates, interests, limitations, powers, provisos and dispositions shall go and belong to and be vested in the person or persons who, by virtue of this my will, shall be next in remainder after the person or persons so disputing as aforesaid: Provided he, she, or they shall not controvert or dispute the validity Page 5 of 9 j cl '~ ~ ~ ~\ \ ~ J of this my will, or any of the devises, limitations, powers, provisos, or dispositions herein contained or hereby made.
