I, EVELYN C. CRAIG, of the Borough of Carlisle,
County of Cumberland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being of
sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under undue
influence of any person whomsoever, do make, publish and declare
this instrument to be my Last Will and Testament, in manner
and form following:
FIRST: I hereby expressly revoke all wills, codicils
and testamentary writings of whatsoever kind and nature heretofore
made by me.
SECOND: I hereby direct my Executor, or its successor,
hereinafter named, to pay all my just debts, expenses of
administration and funeral expenses out of my estate, as soon
as is practicable after my decease.
THIRD: All the rest, residue and remainder of my
estate, real, personal and mixed, of which I may die seized or
possessed, or over which I may have the power of testamentary
disposition, of whatsoever kind and wheresoever situate, I give,
devise and bequeath unto my three children, CHARLES R. CRAIG,
who now resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, NANCY C. BROWN, who
now resides in Dover, Pennsylvania, MARY C. ANDERSON, who now
resides in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In the event that any of my
children shall predecease me without issue surviving, their
share of my residuary estate shall be divided between my remaining
children surviving me. In the event, however, that any of my
children shall predecease me leaving issue surviving, then and
in that event, I direct that the distributive share to which my
said child would have been entitled had he or she survived me,
shall be distributed to the FARMERS TRUST COMPANY of Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, for the following uses and
purposes for such surviving children of my deceased child, per
capita:
a. All such money and property constituting said
distributive share and all income therefrom shall be held, used,
applied, disbursed and distributed in the sole discretion of my
said Trustee for and to said issue of my deceased children and
such fund may be held, invested and administered as one Trust or
in the discretion of the Trustee may be divided into as many Trusts
as there are individual beneficiaries of income and subject to
certain provisions hereinafter set forth relating to the payment
direct to a beneficiary after attaining his or her majority.
All income remaining each year not used for the benefit of a
beneficiary or beneficiaries hereunder shall be added to principal.
b. Said Trustee in its sole discretion may pay
and use the income or so much thereof as it shall deem advisable
or so much of the principal as it shall deem advisable for the
proper maintenance, education, support and welfare of each
and all of the beneficiaries, hereinabove named, being the issue
of my deceased child, if such incident should occur, in such
amounts and in such proportions as my Trustee in its sole
discretion shall deem proper. It is my desire that this Trust
estate be administered and used by my said Trustee for the best
interest of the issue of a deceased child of mine, to the fullest
extent possible in my place as though I were physically present
and administering my own funds for said issue or issues' benefit.
c. Upon any beneficiary hereunder attaining the
age of twenty-one (21) years, the Trustee shall in its discretion
semi-annually thereafter, determine the amount of net income of
this Trust which shall be allocated to such beneficiary and
shall pay the same to such beneficiary, retaining any balance
of net income to be distributed and paid in the Trustee's discretion
to and for the use of the beneficiary or beneficiaries not
having attained the age of twenty-one (21) years or for
distribution to such beneficiary or beneficiaries subsequent to
their attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years.
d. Upon any beneficiary attaining the age of
twenty-five (25) years, the Trustee shall pay and distribute
to such beneficiary such beneficiary's proportionate share of
the principal of this Trust and as to such beneficiary this
Trust shall terminate. The Trustee, however, shall continue
to administer this Trust as to beneficiaries under the age of
twenty-five (25) years uninhibited.
e. In the event, that any time the Trust hereinbefore
established had not been terminated and there are no beneficiaries
to receive the same in accordance with the foregoing, the Trust
shall terminate and the entire funds in the hands of the Trustee
shall be distributed to my remaining children or their issue
and in default thereof under the intestate laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania then in effect.
f. The Trustee shall be vested with reasonable
discretionary powers and in all matters not otherwise herein
specifically provided, shall exercise its sound judgment and
discretion in the performance of its duties hereunder. It shall
not be liable for any error in judgment, provided that such error
is honestly made.
g. I give and grant unto my Trustee and its
successor broad general powers to act as such Trustee as provided
for by the common law or by statute and I direct that such rights
in the Trustee to act as such Trustee shall be construed broadly,
-2-
FOURTH: I hereby direct that all estate, inheritance,
transfer and succession taxes that may be assessed in consequence
of my death of whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction
imposed, shall be paid out of the principal of my general
estate to the same effect as if said taxes were expenses of
administration.
FIFTH: I hereby give unto my Executor, or its successor,
:hereinafter named, the fullest power and authority in all
:matters and questions pertaining to the administration of my
estate, executing the provisions of this my Last Will and
Testament, including, but not by way of limitation, the power
and authority to determine all doubtful questions which may
arise in the construction of this my Last Will and Testament;
I further hereby authorize and empower my Executor, or its
successor, pending settlement of my estate, to sell, convey,
mortgage, lease, exchange, encumber or otherwise dispose of
any and all of the property, real, personal or mixed, at any
time belonging to my estate, either at public or private sale,
without prior approval of any court, and at such times and
for such price or prices and in any such case upon such terms
as it may think best in its discretion, and I authorize and
empower my said Executor to execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the purchasers, grantees, mortgagees, vendees, assignees,
or other persons, such contracts, deeds, mortgages, bonds,
bills of sale, and all other instruments of writing necessary or
proper without obligation upon the latter to see to the proper
application of the proceeds. It shall also have the power to
compromise or otherwise to settle or adjust any and all claims,
charges, debts and demands whatsoever against, or in favor of,
my estate as fully as I could do if living. It shall further
be empowered to carry on and conduct any business enterprise
in which I may be engaged at my death, to retain any assets,
including stocks or securities which I may own at the time of
my death, pending the settlement of my estate, without regard
as to whether or not such assets or securities are legal
investments for fiduciaries. Pending settlement of my estate,
it shall also have the authority in its discretion to convert,
sell, .exchange or dispose of such assets and securities
either for cash or for terms satisfactory to it and to acquire
other assets without limitation to securities or investments
as may be declared legal for investment by fiduciaries. It
shall further be empowered to borrow money, and to pledge
assets of my estate as security therefor, for the purpose of
paying taxes which may be levied upon or payable by my estate,
in accordance with this Will in the event that funds in the
hands of my Executor, or its successor, shall be insufficient
to pay such taxes, and if, in the opinion of my Executor or its
successor, it appears that conversion of securities and other
assets, real and personal, would then be made at a sacrifice.
SIXTH: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint the
-3-
FARMERS TRUST COMPANY, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to be the
Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. As I have heretofore
set forth, I likewise nominate, constitute and appoint the
FARMERS TRUST COMPANY to be the testamentary Trustee of this
my Last Will and Testament upon the occurrence of the events
heretofore enumerated. In the event the FARMERS TRUST COMPANY
shall consolidate or merge with another corporation of fiduciary
character and having the power to act as Executor and Trustee,
including a national bank in this state having the proper permit
to act as Executor, then I nominate and appoint such successor
corporation, association or bank as the substituted Executor
and testamentary Trustee of this my Last Will and Testament
and I hereby direct that such successor shall have all the rights,
powers and privileges conferred hereinabove, on the FARMERS
TRUST COMPANY in its capacity as substituted Executor and
testamentary Trustee of this my Last Will and Testament.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
seal this j, day of October, 1971.
