LOUIS CLARENCE RIEGEL `_-' ~ r.~
r~
I, Louis Clarence Riegel, presently residing in
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound
and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this
to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and
Codicils previously made by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all inheritance and estate taxes
becoming due by reason of my death, whether such taxes may be
payable by my estate or by any recipient of any property, shall
be paid by my Executor out of the property passing under this
Will, which is not specifically devised or bequeathed, as an
expense and cost of administration of my estate. My Executor
shall have no duty or obligation to obtain reimbursement for any
such tax paid by my Executor even though such tax was paid on
proceeds of insurance or other property not passing under this
Will. If the assets not specifically devised or bequeathed are
not adequate for the payment of all such taxes, then the
recipients of the property specifically devised and bequeathed
shall each pay a pro rata portion of any such tax based upon the
valuation of the property received by each such recipient as
finally determined for Federal Estate Tax purposes, or if no such
determination is made, then for applicable State Inheritance Tax
purposes.
ITEM II: I hereby exercise all powers of appointment
which I may have at the time of my death in favor of my Executor,
and all property subject to all such powers of appointment shall
be included in my estate.
PAGE 1 OF 5 PAGES
ITEM III: I hereby give, devise and bequeath all of my
estate, whether real, personal or mixed, of whatsoever nature or
kind and wherever located, unto my daughter, Bethann M. Edwards,
provided that she survives me by thirty (30) days.
ITEM IV: In the event that my daughter, Bethann M.
Edwards, predeceases me or does not survive me by thirty (30)
days, then I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate, whether
real, personal or mixed, of whatsoever nature or kind and
wherever located, in equal shares, unto my grandsons, Shawn M.
Edwards, Brett K. Edwards and Scott B. Edwards, or their issue,
per stirpes.
ITEM V: In addition to such other powers as my
Executor may be granted by law, or under previous portions of
this Will, he shall have the following powers:
a) To retain investments I may have at my death so long
as my Executor may deem it advisable to my estate or
trust to do so.
b) To vary investments, when deemed desirable by my
Executor, then to invest in such bonds, stocks,
notes, real estate mortgages, or other securities, or
in such other property, real or personal, as he shall
deem wise, without being restricted to so-called
" legal investments " .
c) In order to effect a division of the principal of my
estate or of any trust or for any other purpose,
including any final distribution, my Executor is
authorized to make said divisions or distributions o£
the personalty and realty partly or wholly in kind.
If such division or distribution is made in kind,
said assets are required to be divided or distributed
PAGE 2 OF 5 PAGES
at their respective values on the date or dates of
their division or distribution.
d) To sell either at public or private sale and upon
such terms and conditions as the Executor may deem
advantageous to the estate, or any trust, any or all
real or personal estate or interest therein owned by
the estate or trust severally or in conjunction with
other persons or acquired after my death by my
Executor, and to consummate said sale or sales by
sufficient deeds or other instruments to the
purchaser or purchasers, conveying a fee simple
title, free and clear of all trusts and without
obligation or liability of the purchaser or
purchasers to see to the application of the purchase
money or to make inquiry into the validity of said
sale or sales; also, to make, execute, acknowledge
and deliver any and all deeds, assignments, options
or other writings which may be necessary or
desirable, in carrying out any of the powers
conferred upon my Executor in this paragraph or
elsewhere in my Will.
e) To mortgage real estate, and to make leases of real
estate.
f) To borrow money from any party, to pay indebtedness
of mine or of my estate or of a trust,
expenses of administration or inheritance, legacy,
estate and other taxes.
g) To pay all costs, taxes, expenses and charges in
connection with the administration of my estate or
trust. My Executor shall pay the expenses of my last
illness and all funeral expenses.
PAGE 3 OF 5 PAGES
h) To vote any shares of stock which form a part of the
estate or of any trust, and to otherwise exercise all
the powers incident to the ownership of such stock.
i) In the discretion of my Executor, to unite with other
owners of similar property in carrying out any plans
for the reorganization of any corporation or company
whose securities form a part of the estate or of any
trust.
ITEM VI•
as Testator, or in
circumstances that
died first, or who
after the death of
him.
~,ny person who shall have died at the same time
a common disaster with him, or under such
it is difficult or impossible to determine who
shall have died less than thirty (30) days
Testator, shall be deemed to have predeceased
ITEM VII: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my
daughter, Bethann M. Edwards, to be the Executrix of this my Last
Will and Testament. My Executrix is specifically relieved from
the duty or obligation of the filing of any bond or bonds in this
or any other jurisdiction.

such terms in the masculine form shall be deemed to include a
reference to the Executrix and/or any such comparable term in the
feminine form, when and if applicable, and shall have the same
force and effect as if set forth originally in the feminine form.
