I, Edith C. McConnell, of Homer City, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, revoke my former
Wills and Codicils and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament.
ARTICLE I
IDENTIFICATION OF FAMILY
I am married to Jay M. McConnell, Jr. The failure of this Will to provide for any
distribution to Jay M. McConnell, Jr. is intentional.
The names of my children are Susan C. Harvey, Andrean M. Griffith and Charles H.
Diller, Jr.. The failure of this Will to provide for any distribution to my child Charles H.
Diller, Jr. is intentional. My son has graciously requested that he not be included in my
estate so that others could more fully benefit from the value of my assets.
ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS OF DEBTS AND F,XPENSES
I direct that my just debts, funeral expenses, expenses of last illness, inheritance and
estate taxes due by reason of my death be first paid from my estate.
ARTICLE III
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
I give and bequeath all of my tangible personal property to my daughters, Susan E.
Harvey and Andrean M. Griffith, if living at my death in as nearly equal shares as they
may select under the supervision of my Executor.
_, ~I .
.-,
--, ,

-~-=
i_i~ i`.)
ARTICLE IV
DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY
Residuary Estate. I direct that my residuary estate be distributed to the following
beneficiaries in the percentages as shown:
(a) Forty percent (40%) of such residue to my daughter, Susan E. Harvey, if she
survives me, or if she does not survive me, to her issue, per stirpes, living at my
death. If Susan and all of her issue die before me, the assets otherwise passing
under this paragraph (a) shall be added to the assets passing under paragraph (b)
of this Article.
(b) Forty percent (40%) of such residue to my daughter, Andrean M. Griffith, if she
survives me, or if she does not survive me, to her issue, per stirpes, living at my
death. If Andrean and all of her issue die before me, the assets otherwise passing
under this paragraph (b) shall be added to the assets passing under paragraph (a)
of this Article.
(c) Twenty percent (20%) of such residue to my granddaughter, Edee K. Herigan,
now of Dauphin, Pennsylvania, if she survives me. If Edee does not survive me,
this share shall be added equally to the assets passing under paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Article. I have singled out my grandchild Edee because of her
significant help, support, care and love given to me during my lifetime.
ARTICLE V
NOMINATION OF EXECUTOR
I nominate Charles H. Diller, Jr., of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, as the Executor,
without bond or security. If such person or entity does not serve for any reason, I
nominate Susan E. Harvey, of Homer City, Pennsylvania, to be the Executor, without
bond or security.
ARTICLE VI
EXECUTOR POWERS
My Executor, in addition to other powers and authority granted by law or necessary or
appropriate for proper administration, shall have the right and power to lease, sell,
mortgage, or otherwise encumber any real or personal property that may be included in
my estate, without order of court and without notice to anyone.
My Executor shall have the right to administer my estate using "informal",
~~
~~ ~
~~
"unsupervised", or "independent" probate or equivalent legislation designed to operate
without unnecessary intervention by the probate court.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
A. Para h Titles and Gender. The titles given to the paragraphs of this Will are
inserted for reference purposes only and are not to be considered as forming a part of this
Will in interpreting its provisions. All words used in this Will in any gender shall extend
to and include all genders, and any singular words shall include the plural expression, and
vice versa, specifically including "child" and "children", when the context or facts so
require, and any pronouns shall be taken to refer to the person or persons intended
regardless of gender or number.
B. Liability of Fiduciary. No fiduciary who is a natural person shall, in the absence of
fraudulent conduct or bad faith, be liable individually to any beneficiary of my estate, and
my estate shall indemnify such natural person from any and all claims or expenses in
connection with or arising out of that fiduciary's good faith actions or nonactions as the
fiduciary, except for such actions or nonactions which constitute fraudulent conduct or
bad faith.
C. Beneficiary Disputes. If any bequest requires that the bequest be distributed between
or among two or more beneficiaries, the specific items of property comprising the
respective shares shall be determined by such beneficiaries if they can agree, and if not,
by my Executor.
