LAST `T'ILL AND
TESTAMENT
OF
RONALD L. STONER
I , RONALD L. STONER, of Boiling Springs, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do hereby 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 direct the payment of my debts and expenses of my last illness and funeral
from my estate as soon after my death as conveniently may be done. I direct that my
body be cremated and that the ashes be placed in a suitable container and thereafter be
retained at the directions of my wife, Rebecca L. Waddell.
SECOND
All my personal effects, clothing, furniture, furnishings, jewelry, automobiles,
other tangible personal property of every kind, and insurance thereon, I give in
accordance with a memorandum which accompanies my will. To the extent that such
memorandum fails to dispose of all personal property or if the memorandum is not in
. ~ U~ ex~tence ~t~ny death, then I give the same to Rebecca L. Waddell, my spouse, if she

to my eldest daughter, Christine Hummell. Any items not so disposed of shall be sold
by my personal representative and the proceeds added to my residuary estate.
THIRD
If my wife, Rebecca L. Waddell, shall survive me, I give and devise to
my wife, during her lifetime and until her remarriage, my house and the insurance thereon,
together with all the furniture, furnishings, household articles, and the insurance thereon,
without liability for waste, until the earlier of her death or remarriage. Upon the death or
remarriage of my wife, or at such time as my wife is no longer able to independently reside
in my house, whichever event first occurs, I give and devise my house and the furniture,
furnishings, and household articles and insurance thereon to my eldest daughter,
Christine Hummell.
As long as my wife uses the premises, she shall pay all costs of
maintenance, utilities, repairs, insurance, mortgage, taxes and special assessments. My
wife shall not be required to post bond as the life tenant. My eldest daughter, Christine
Hummell, shall resolve any dispute as to whether my wife qualifies to continue to retain
her possessory interest in such property.
FOURTH
All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever nature, and
wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath unto Rebecca L. Waddell, my spouse,
provided she survives me by sixty (60) days.

FIFTH
In the event Rebecca L, Waddell, my spouse fails to survive me by sixty (60)
days, or in the event that she disclaims any interest hereunder, I give the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate, to my eldest daughter, Christine Hummell. If my said eldest
daughter is not living at the time of my death then I leave my residuary estate to my
nephew Charles Smith.
SIXTH
In addition to the powers conferred by law, I authorize my personal
representative, in his or her absolute discretion:
A. To retain in the form received and to sell either at public or private sale, any
real or personal property; and
B. To manage real estate; and
C. To invest and reinvest in all forms of property without being confined to legal
investments and without regard to the principal of diversification; and
D. To exercise any option or rights arising from ownership of investments; and
E. To compromise claims without court approval and without the consent of any
beneficiary, but not limited to claims by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with respect
to inheritance taxes on any future interest passing under this will.
F. To continue the operation of any business that I may own at the time of my
death for the period of time and in the manner that he, she or it considers advisable and to
be in the best interest of my estate, or to sell, or to liquidate the business at the time and
on the terms and conditions that he, she, or it considers advisable and in the best interests
of my estate.

SEVENTH
All shares of principal and income herein given shall be free from anticipation,
assignment, pledge or obligation of any beneficiary and shall not be subject to any
execution or attachment.
EIGHTH
I direct that any and all inheritance, estate and transfer taxes imposed upon my
estate passing under my Will or otherwise, shall be paid out of the principal of my
residuary estate.
NINTH
I nominate, constitute and appoint Rebecca L. Waddell, my spouse, as
personal representative of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event of the
renunciation, death, resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of my
spouse, I nominate, constitute and appoint my eldest daughter, Christine Hummell, as
personal representatives of this my Last Will and Testament. I hereby relieve my personal
representatives from the necessity of posting security in connection with duties as such in
any jurisdiction in which my personal representatives shall be called upon to act insofar as
I am able by law to do so.

Will and Testament, consisting of 6type-written pages, the first 3 of which bear my
