LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
ROBERT L. THUMMA
I, Robert L. Thumma, of 3103 Ritner Highway, Newville, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17241, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding,
do hereby make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament,
hereby revoking and making void any and all Wills and Codicils heretofore made.
FIRST
I direct the payment of my just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my
death as may be convenient.
I direct that all federal and Pennsylvania estate taxes, Pennsylvania inheritance
taxes, and generation-skipping transfer tax payable as a result of my death, not limited
to taxes attributable to property passing under this Will, shall be Laid by my Executor
from my residuary estate, including any part of my residuary estate that otherwise
qualifies for a deduction for federal estate tax purposes, however, no federal or
Pennsylvania estate tax, Pennsylvania inheritance tax, orgeneration-skipping transfer
tax shall be payable from or chargeable to any property that passes to my surviving
spouse, whether under this Will or otherwise, and that qualifies for the federal estate tax
marital deduction. I direct my Executor not to seek reimbursement for any tax so paid
from any beneficiary under this Will, heir of mine, or other transferee of property
included in my gross estate.
SECOND
I declare that I am now the widow of Josephine M. Thumma. We had no
children. I have no deceased children nor any other children living by my wife or
otherwise.
THIRD
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, in two (2) equal
shares, per stirpes and not per capita, unto my nieces, Margaret Thumma (who goes by
"Peggy") of 100 Grant Howard Trail, Bessemer City, NC 28016; and Anna Mae
Campbell, of 104 Kimberly Way, Lewes, DE 19958, provided they shall survive me by
ninety (90) days, but should either of them fail to so survive me then the share such
deceased niece of mine would have received shall pass to such of her issue as shall
`~ survive me by a period of ninety (90) days, per stirpes, and if there be no such issue the
same shall lapse and be added to the remaining share or shares.
~~
FOURTH
I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my said nieces, Margaret Thumma and
Anna Mae Campbell, as Co-Executrixes of this my Last Will and 'testament, or the
successor or survivor of them alone as sole Executrix. I further direct that no bond or
other security shall be required of any Executor or Executrix appointed in this Will for
the performance of his, her or its duties in any jurisdiction in which he, she or it may be
called upon to act. The terms Executor or Executrix may be used interchangeably in
this Will and shall refer to any Executor or Executrix appointed in this will, or any other
Administrator appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Last Will and Testament of Robert G. Thumma Page 1 of 3
FIFTH
In addition to, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by law or by other
provisions of this Will, my Co-Executrixes shall have the following powers, each of
which may be exercised from time to time by my Co-Executrixes in their sole discretion:
(a) To retain in the form received, and to sell either at public or private
sale, or to distribute in kind, any real or personal proK~erty.
(b) To manage both real and personal property.
(c) To invest and reinvest in all forms of property, notwithstanding the
fact that any or all of the investments made are of a character or size
which but for this expressed authority would not be c~~nsidered
proper for an Executrix.
(d) To exercise any option or rights arising from the ownership of
investments.
(e) To compromise claims without court approval and without the consent of any
beneficiary.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal to this my Last
Will and Testament, written on three (3) pages (including notary K~age), this 10th day of
April, 2007.
