I, RICHARD B. MILLER, SR., of Southampton Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament and revoke any Will or Codicil
previously made by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all my just debts (except as may be barred by a Statute of Limitations)
and my funeral expenses (including my gravemarker and expenses of my last illness) shall be paid
from my residuary estate as soon as practicable a8er my decease as a part of the administration of
my estate.
ITEM II: I bequeath those articles of my household furniture and furnishings and those
articles of my personal effects and personal property as I have or may set forth in a separate
memorandum (which is or will be signed by me, dated and make specific reference to this Will and
memorandum, which I shall place with my Will or deposit with my attorney), to the persons therein
designated.
ITEM III: I devise and bequeath all the residue of my estate of every nature and wherever
situate as follows:
A. One-third (1/3) thereof to my wife, DECOKES J. MILLER, if she survives me.
B. The residue and remainder thereof to my son, RICHARD B. MILLER, JR. and his
wife, MARILYN A. MILLER, or the survivor of them.
ITEM VI: If any property passes outright (either under this Will or otherwise) to a minor
(which shall be defined as anyone under twenty-five (25) years of age) and with respect to which I
am authorized to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so, I decline to
appoint a guardian but instead authorize my Executor to distribute such property to a Custodian
selected by my Executor (and my Executor may act as such Custodian) as Custodian for the minor
under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. Provided, however, that this
appointment shall not supersede the right of any fiduciary to distribute a share where possible to the
minor or to another for the minor's benefit.
ITEM IV: I direct that all taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, of
whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction imposed, shall be paid from my residuary estate as
part of the expenses of the administration of my estate.
ITEM V: I appoint my son, RICHARD B. MILLER, JR., Executor of this my Last Will.
Should he fail to qualify or cease to act as Executor, I appoint my daughter-in-law, MARILYN A.
MILLER, Substitute Executor of this my Last Will.

give bond for the faithful performance of their duties in any jurisdiction.
