I, BETTY L. BACHMAN, of Bowmansdale, Cumberland~~unty°•
Pennsylvania, make, publish and declare this as and for my Last ~
Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other Wills and Codicils
heretofore made by me.
FIRST: I give and bequeath all of my jewelry to my
daughter, CHERYL L. FRASER. It is my desire that she distribute
some of the family jewelry to my sons, STEPHEN D. BACEiMAN,
GREGORY R. BACHMAN, and MICHAEL R. BACHMAN. The distribution
shall be in CHERYL L. FRASER'S absolute discretion, acid shall not
be binding on her in any manner. Should CHERYL L. FRASER prede-
cease me, I direct that this bequest be and become a part of my
residuary estate to be distributed as set forth :hereir7below.
ECO I give and bequeath to my children, STEPHEN D.
BACHMAN, CHERYL L. FRASER, GREGORY R. BACHMAN, and MICHAEL R.
BACHMAN, their choice of any of my tangible personal property. I
direct that the order in which STEPHEN D. BACHMAN, CHERYL L.
FRASER, GREGORY R. BACHMAN and MICHAEL R. BACHMAN select items of
my personal property shall be established as follows: each child....
in order of descending age shall select one piece, without regard
to that item's value, as follows: the eldest child shall choose
the first and eighth piece; the second eldest child shall choose
the second and seventh piece; the third eldest child shall choose
the third and sixth piece; and the youngest child shall choose

together with any insurance policies thereon, in equal shares, to
my children, STEPHEN D. BACHMAN, CHERYL L. FRASER, GREGORY R.
BACHMAN, and MICHAEL R. BACHMAN, provided that should any of my
children predecease me, I give and bequeath such. child's share
unto his or her issue per stirpes by representation, and if there

portion of income and principal for the said grandchild's
education (including college, trade school or other similar
