I direct my executrix to pay out of my estate all of my debts, funeral costs and administrative expenses as soon as convenient after my decease. It is my express desire and direction that my funeral arrangements be modest and my burial be as inexpensive as reasonably possible. I want no expensive casket or elaborate funeral services, except such a fitting memorial gathering in a church and modest gravemarker as becomes one who respects the earthly remains of the body God has given him, but knows that as surely as the dust returns to the earth the souls of those who die in the Lord remain not in the grave. I remind my heirs of the lessons contained in Genesis 23 and II Corinthians 5. "0 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave, where is thy victory?" (I Corinthians 15:55). 2. I authorize and empower my executrix to sell any realty owned by me at my death and not specifically devised or bequeathed herein, at either public or private sale, and to give good and sufficient deeds therefor, in fee simple, as I could do if living. ~'"I:'i ~ -f-: t_ r~ • :; , - < :: t-, - ~ ~ F:: .... ~,. ...._ ~~ 3. I devise and bequeath all of my estate of every nature and wherever situate to my wife, Elva S. Kaucher, providing she shall survive me by sixty days. 4. Should the gift in Paragraph No. 3 not take effect, I devise and bequeath all of my estate of every nature and wherever situate to my four children, share and share alike, the child or children of any deceased child taking the share their parent would have taken if living. 5. I nominate and appoint Elva S. Kaucher to be the executrix of this my last will and testament; she is to serve as such without bond. Should she die before my death, renounce or refuse to serve for any reason, or die leaving any of my estate unadministered, I nominate and appoint Kerry L. Kaucher, Kenneth L. Kaucher, Kathy D. Davidhizer and Keith L. Kaucher, as substitute executors, also to serve as such without bond, with the same powers as are given herein to my executrix. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this ~~~~ day of February, 1988. n .. (SEAL) HO ARD L. U R Signed, sealed, published and declared by Howard L.
