WRIGHT JR. of 303 Belvedere Street in the Borou h of Carlisle ;~ Curtand County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and t. ., unc~r~tanding, do hereby make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and _ c_ ~_ M°-~~ Testa~I~~nt, hereby revoking and making void any and all Wills by me at any time heretofore r~ made. ~~' 1. I direct my hereinafter named Executrix to pay all of my just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my death as may be found convenient to do so. 2. Upon my death, all property owned jointly by me with my wife, Virginia L. Wright, shall be hers alone by survivorship, which property presently includes the real estate known as 303 Belvedere Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the real estate known as 137 West Louther Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, various shares of stock registered in our joint names, and our household goods and furnishings and all cash on hand including bank accounts. The bank account maintained by me in connection with my optometric practice is in my name alone and is not jointly owned with my wife and is to be included in the residue of my Estate. 3. The man's diamond ring which I wear I give and bequeath to my daughter, Lisa Ann Betts, provided she shall survive me by a period of ninety (90) days but should she fail to so survive me then the same shall lapse and be included in the residue of my Estate. 4. The tract of land containing approximately 75 acres which I own located in New Lancaster Valley, Armagh Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, described in deed recorded in Deed Book "W", Volume 5, Page 455, I give, devise, and bequeath in equal shares to my three (3) daughters, Lisa Ann Betts, Karen Anne Guss, and Dana Lee Wright, their heirs and assigns, provided each of them shall survive me by a period of ninety (90) days, but should any of them fail to so survive me then the share such deceased daughter would have received shall pass to such of her issue as shall survive me by a period of ninety (90) days, per stirpes, but should there be no such issue then the same shall lapse and be included in the shares of the other two (2) daughters. I further direct that should the owner of any undivided interest in said 75-acre tract of land desire to convey the interest of such owner, the owners of the other undivided interests shall be given right of first refusal to acquire same on whatever terms and conditions are satisfactory to the selling owner, which right shall be accepted or rejected within thirty (30) days from written notice of such offer and if not accepted, then the owner of such undivided interest may be free to convey same on the terms and conditions which were submitted to the other co-owners. This provision of first refusal shall not apply to transfer of ownership by descent or devise. 5. All the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate, real, personal and mixed, and wheresoever the same may be situate, I give, devise and bequeath to the person or persons who are appointed to serve as Executrix or Executrices of my Estate, in Trust, to receive and to invest the same and to pay the income arising therefrom to or for the benefit of my mother, Mary E. Wright, so long as she shall live, and upon her death or in the event she has pre-deceased me upon my death, the said Trustees shall terminate said Trust and pay therefrom Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) dollars to or for the benefit of each grandchild of mine living at the time of the death of my mother or my death, Page 1 of 2 Pages whichever shall be later, which sum shall in the case of any grandchild less than 18 years of age be paid to the parents of such grandchild as Guardians of the estate of such grandchild with the request that said sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) dollars be applied toward the higher education of such grandchild to the extent reasonably necessary and any sum not so applied to be turned over to such grandchild upon attaining 21 years of age. The balance remaining in the hands of my said Trustees shall then be paid to or for the benefit of my wife, Virginia L. Wright, absolutely, free of said Trust, but should she be not living at the time of such distribution then the same shall be paid in equal shares to such of my three (3) daughters as may be then living, but should any of my three (3) daughters be then deceased, the share such deceased daughter would have received shall be distributed to such of her issue as may then be living, per stirpes, and if there be no such living issue the same shall be added to the shares of the other daughters. 6. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my wife, Virginia L. Wright, as Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament, but should she pre-decease me or fail to qualify or cease serving as such, then I nominate, constitute and appoint my three (3) daughters, Lisa Ann Betts, Karen Anne Guss, and Dana Lee Wright, or any of them as alternate or successor Executrices, and I further direct that none of them shall be required to post any bond to secure the faithful performance of her duties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or in any other jurisdiction.
