COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Melissa D. Reed, Executrix of the Last Will and
Testament of Kathleen S. Gury, by and through the undersigned attorneys, Salzmann
Hughes, P.C., and avers in support of its complaint against Defendant as follows:
1. The Plaintiff, Melissa D. Reed, Executrix of the Last Will and Testament of
Kathleen S. Gury, is an adult individual residing at 2796 Leitersburg Road,
Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
2. The Defendants, Vernon A. Hill and Denise R. Hill, husband and wife, are adult
individuals residing at 259 Jumper Road, Newburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
The Decedent, Kathleen S. Gury, died on February 18, 2009, and Letters
Testamentary have been granted to the Plaintiff, Melissa D. Reed, Executrix on
March 1 1, 2009 at file number 21-09-0234 of the Register of Wills Office,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. A copy of the Grant of Letters is attached as
Exhibit A.
4. In reviewing documentation of the Decedent, it was noticed by the said Executrix
that a substantial sum of money was paid to the Defendants for lawn mowing
service.
5. In reviewing the checks that were issued to the Defendants for work performed
from approximately February, 2008 to October, 2008, the amount totaled Six
Thousand Five Hundred Fifteen and 00/100 ($6,515.00) Dollars.
6. In an attempt to reconcile the charges, two letters were mailed to the Defendant,
Vernon A. Hill requesting copies of invoices to justify the payment of Six
Thousand Five Hundred Fifteen and 00/100 ($6,515.00) Dollars. Copies of the
two letters are attached as Exhibit B.
7. An invoice received by the Decedent dated June 18, 2008 is attached as Exhibit C.
This will reduce the amount of the demand by Three Hundred Ninety and 00/100
($390.00) Dollars for a total of Six Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five
($6,125.00) Dollars.
8. The checks that the Decedent issued to the Defendants were from her account at

9. The Defendants received this compensation through fraud or duress from the

WHEREFORE, The Plaintiff claims of the Defendant the sum of Six Thousand One
Hundred Twenty Five and 00/100 ($6,125.00) Dollars plus interest and costs, an amount
