GREENWOOD I, BERTHA M. GREENWOOD, of 933 North Pitt Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST I order and direct my Executor hereinafter named to pay gall of my just debts, r~~ c~-~ -~. ,, _.. ~~ +. ~J .`~ (:3"'• funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate as soon after my death as is reasonably possible. I direct my Executor to pay all inheritance, estate, succession and legacy taxes, to which my estate or the transfer of any property hereunder may be subject, and to charge such taxes as part of the expenses of the administration of my estate, being deducted and paid from the resi~3ue of my estate and not to be deducted in any manner from any specific bequests made herein. However, my Executor need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my r ~: ,', death, I authorize my Executor/Executrix, in his, her or its sole discretion, to purchase a GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law 200 N.

SECOND I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate together with al.l insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate to my dear and close friend, NORMAN C. MILLER, of 2190 Newville Road, Carlisle, (:umberland County, Pennsylvania, provided he survives me by sixty (60) days per ~~tirpes. I direct my Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all per<,~onal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and thf; like), including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my residual benefici~~ries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, v~rith the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. THIRD Should my dear and close friend, NORMAN C.

Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, provided he survives me by sixty (60) days per stirpes. I direct my Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, <.;tocks, bonds and the like}, including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, anl:iques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided bE;tween my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the pr~~ceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. FOURTH I specifically note that I have not provided for the distribution of any assets of any nature whatsoever from my estate to my step-children, ORRIE DAVID GREENWOOD, nor RONALD DARRELL GREENWOOD.
