GEIST ``' `:~ ,~ ~~ .. -- I, HAROLD G. GEIST, presently residing at 339 Willow Avenue, Borough of Camp Hill, 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 null and void any and alI former Wills and Codicils by me at any time heretofore made. FIRST: I direct my Executrix, hereafter named, to pay all my legal debts and funeral expenses as soon after my decease as conveniently may be done. SECOND: All of my tangible personal property, including furniture, furnishings, books, silverware, jewelry, pictures, objects of art, automobiles, and all other domestic and household effects and personal goods and chattels of every nature and where- soever situate, including all insurance polic;ies thereon, not otherwise disposed of in this Will, I give and bequeath unto my wife, MARGARET ANN GEIST, if she survives me by sixty (60) days, otherwise to my children, SHELBY GENE SNYDER and MICHAEL DALE GEIST, in equal shares as nearly as is practicable according to their choice, the issue of any deceased child to take his or her parent's share, per stirpes. THIRD: All the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, including that over _ { -- __~ ~.. _ .- -. which I have a Power of Appointment, I give, devise and bequeath unto my wife, MARGARET ANN GEIST, if she survives me by sixty (60) days, otherwise to my children, SHELBY GENE SNYDER and MICHAEL DALE GEIST, or their issue, per stirpes. FOURTH: If my wife, MARGARET ANN GEIST, and I die under circumstances to which the Uniform Simultaneous'. Death Act would apply, I direct that I shall be presumed to have predeceased my wife. FIFTH: Any share of my estate which becames distributable to a minor shall be held in trust by my Executrix during minority. My Executrix shall apply such amounts of income and principal as she shall deem proper (in her sole discretion) for the support, education and welfare of such minor and shall accumulate any unexpended balance of income. Such amounts may be applied directly or may be paid to the person with whom such minor resides or who has the care and control of such minor, without the intervention of a guardian. My Executrix shall not be obliged to supervise or inquire into application of such amount by such person, and the receipt of such person shall be a complete release: of my Executrix. Should the share of a minor, in the sole discretion of my Executrix, be or become too small to warrant continuation of such funds in trust or should its administration be or become impracticable for any other reason, my Executrix, in her sole discretion, may deliver such share, absolutely, to the parent or other person maintaining said minor, or directly to the minor, or may deposit such share in the minor's name in a savings acount in an institution of its choosing, payable to the minor at majority. -2- SIXTH: I direct my Executrix to pay all inheritance, estate, succession and legacy taxes of whatsoever nature and kind, to which my Estate, or the transfer of any property passing hereunder or otherwise passing by reason of my death, may be subject and to charge such taxes against my residuary estate, it being my intention that none of the aforesaid taxes, either federal or state, on any property required to be included in my gross estate under the provisions of any state or federal law now in force and effect or hereafter enacted shall be prorated among the persons interested in the Estate to whom such property is or may be transferred to or to whom any benefit accrues. SEVENTH: No interest of any beneficiary of` my estate either in income or principal, shall be subject to anticipation or to pledge, assignment, sale, or transfer in any manner, nor shall any such interest be liable on account of the debts, contracts, torts, or other engagements of my beneficiary. EIGHTH: I nominate, constitute and appoint, my wife MARGARET ANN GEIST, of the Borough of Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as Executrix, under this my Last Will and Testament. If she fails to qualify or ceases to act after undertaking administration, then I appoint my son, MICHAEL DALE GEIST of Annandale, Virginia, Alternate Executor of this Will, with the same duties, powers and discretion as if originally appointed. Neither personal representative shall be required to enter bond or furnish surety in any jurisdiction. -3- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, HAROLD G.
