I, RUTH M. BESSELMAN, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
revoke all of my former Wills and Codicils and declare this to be
my Last Will and Testament.
Z1RTT!`T L' t
STATEMENT OF FAMILY
I am widowed. My children are MARY LYNNE SABO of Maple

Pennsylvania.
ARTICLE II
PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND EXPENSES
I direct payment of all debts legally enforceable against my
estate which are presented in a timely manner during the
administration of my estate, the expenses of my last illness,
funeral, and burial or other disposition of my body, and the
expenses of administration of my estate; provided that, if any
property (including life insurance), owned by me jointly or
individually and passing under this will or otherwise, '',shall be
encumbered, the indebtedness secured by such encumbrance shall
not be paid by my estate and such property shall. pass!s'uubject to
ull encu.nbrances existing at my death.
ARTICLE III
SPECIFIC GIFTS OF TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPER
ITEM I: I give and bequeath to my daughter, Mary Lynne
Sabo, the following:
1) my velvet chairs; and
2) my solitaire diamond ring.
ITEM II: I give and bequeath to my daughter-in-law, FRANCES
C. BESSELMAN of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania the following:
1) my corner cabinet; and
2) the sum of Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars.
ITEM III: I give and bequeath to my grand-daughter, Mary
Anne Callan, the following:

1) to my son, DAVID M. BESSELMAN, sixty percent {600) of
my residue; and
2) to my daughter, MARY LYNNE SABO, forty percent (400) of
my residue.
The above-distribution is no reflection of the love for my
children as I love them both equally but rather to show my
appreciation for the support and assistance given to me by my son
and his family during my convalescence.
If MARY LYNNE SABO fails to survive me, then I give her
share to be divided among all of her children then living.
If DAVID M. BESSELMAN fails to survive me, then I give his

that share is to be divided among all of DAVID M. BESSEZLMAN'S

an administration expense without apportionment.

predeceased me.
