BETTY M. SLAGLE
I, BETTY M. SLAGLE, of 84 Partridge Circle, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make,
publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making
void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
I order and direct my Executor hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my
estate, including all taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, as soon after
my death as is reasonably possible from the proceeds and assets of my estate prior to any
other distributions. However, my Executor need not accelerate and pay those unmatured
obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to
retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a
grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my Executor/Executrix, in his, her or its
sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave,
and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose.

SECOND
I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate of whatsoever nature and wheresoever
situate, together with all insurance proceeds thereon, in equal shares to my children and
grandchildren, JANICE E. ADAMS, WESLEY C. BEAGLE, JASON LEHMAN and
EVAN J. SLAGLE, providing they survive me by sixty (60) days, per capita. I direct my
Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a
sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), including but
not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in
accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with
my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said
tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard
for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such
dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said
beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder,
the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the decision to sell the property at
public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall
be final and conclusive on all parties.
THIRD
Any devise or distribution under this Last Will and Testament which is payable to
any beneficiary who may be under twenty-one (21) years of age or, in the judgment of my
Executor/Executrix, mentally disabled, shall be held in a separate trust by my
Executor/Executrix astrustee until such beneficiary reaches twenty-one (21) years of age
or during such period of disability. In the case of a beneficiary under twenty-one (21)
GRIFFIE & ASSOCL4TES
Attorneys At Law

Carlisle, PA 17013 Chambersburg, PA 17201
yeazs of age, the Trustee may distribute up to one-half (1/2) of the then remaining
principal and accumulated income on the request of the said beneficiary, at or after
attaining eighteen (18) yeazs of age; and up to the entire remaining balance of principal
and accumulated interest at or after attaining twenty-one (21) yeazs of age. During the
term of any trust created pursuant to this Paragraph, the Trustee is authorized to expend
and apply so much of the net income and principal of each such trust as the Trustee shall
consider advisable for the health, maintenance, support, and education (including college
education, undergraduate and graduate) of each such beneficiary until he or she attains
twenty-one (21) years of age, or until all such amounts aze paid out of trust. I direct that
no Trustee shall be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of the
Trustee's duties in this or any other jurisdiction.
FOURTH
I grant my Executor/Executrix the following powers in addition to and not in
limitation of such powers as my Executor/Executrix shall hold by law:
(a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary
acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive.
(b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger,
reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto;
to deposit investments under agreements and pay assessments; and generally
to exercise all rights of investors, including but not limited to, the voting of
shazes.
(c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease on any terms any real
estate held or owned by my estate.

(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities
or property, real or personal, without regazd to the principle of diversification
or any other statute or general rule of law in his, her or its absolute discretion,
it being my intention to give my Executor/Executrix the broadest investment
powers possible, providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the
prompt settlement of my estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, tangible or
intangible, at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such
terms and conditions as my Executor/Executrix shall see fit in his, her or its
absolute discretion.
(g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in
the administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as
security.
(h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to,
any controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may
pass under this my Last Will and Testament.
(i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate.
(j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my
Executor/Executrix for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of
the settlement of my estate.

individual could exercise in the management of similaz property owned in his

and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which he, she or it
deems necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last Will and
Testament.
FIFTH
No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income or in principal, shall
be subject to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall
any beneficiary have the power in any manner to charge or encumber his interest either in
income or principal, nor shall the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any
manner while in the possession of my Executor/Executrix for the liability of such
beneficiary.
SIXTH
I nominate, constitute and appoint my sister, JOYCE A. PAULUS, as Executrix
of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event my sister is deceased, unable or
unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate,
constitute and appoint my son, WESLEY C. SLAGLE, as Executor of this my Last Will
and Testament. I direct that my Executor/Executrix shall not be required to give or post
bond for the faithful performance of his, her or its duties in this or any other jurisdiction.
SEVENTH

the law firm of Griffie & Associates, of Cazlisle, Pennsylvania, for legal advice and
