BE IT REMEMBERED, that I, EDWIN S. METZGER, of HC 67, Box 56~i
Mifflin, Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish
and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making null
and void any and all Wills and Testaments and writings in the nature thereof made by me
at any time heretofore.
ITEM 1: I direct that all my j ust debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon after
my demise as may be convenient.
ITEM 2: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever nature and
wheresoever situate, whether it be real, personal or mixed, including property over which
I have a power of appointment, I give, devise and bequeath unto my three children,
BONNIE LEE LEE, BETTY LOU PHILLIPS, AND EDWIN B. METZGER, in equal
shares, per stirpes.
ITEM 3: I direct my hereinafter named Co-Executors 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 demise,
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 or
hereafter enacted, shall be prorated among the persons interested in my estate to whom such
property is or may be transferred or to whom any benefit accrues.
ITEM 4: I appoint BONNIE LEE LEE, BETTY LOU PHILLIPS, AND

ITEM 5: I direct that my Co-Executors shall not be required to give bond for the
faithful performance of their duties in any jurisdiction.
ITEM 6: My Personal Representatives shall have the following powers in addition
1
to those vested in them by Law and by other provisions of this, my Last Will and Testament,
exercisable without court approval, and effective until distribution of all property:
1. To retain any or all of the assets of my estate, real or personal,
without restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania
fiduciaries, as they from time to time may deem proper, without
regard to any principal of diversification or risk.
2. To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments
authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as they from time to time
may deem proper, without regard to any principal of diversification
or risk.
3. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange, or to lease for any
period of time, any real or personal property and to give options for
sales, exchanges or leases, for such prices and upon such terms or
conditions as they from time to time may deem proper.
4. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or partly to
each as they from time to time may deem proper.
5. To borrow money from persons or institutions, themselves included,

dispositive provisions of this instrument.
6. To compromise any claim or controversy asserted by or against my
estate or trust estate.
7. To make distribution in cash or in kind or partly in cash and partly
in kind, and in such manner as they may determine, and at valuations
finally to be fixed by them.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 7t" day of
