I, HENRY S. CARPENTER, presently of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do
hereby declare this to be my Last Will, and do hereby revoke all prior Wills and
' Codicils heretofore made by me.
1. I direct that all my legal obligations and personal expenses be paid as soon
after my death as may be practicable.
2. I hereby give, bequeath and devise to my sons, REVEREND DR.
GEORGE H. CARPENTER, JOHN F. CARPENTER, AND DR. JAMES J. CARPENTER,
all of the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, of whatsoever nature
and wheresoever situate, together with all policies of insurance thereon, share and
share alike, equally, per stirpes.
3. I hereby declare that it was not my intention to make provisions in this
my Last Will and Testament for any other relative, next of kin, or other person except as
provided herein; and the absence of such provision was not due to oversight on my
part.
4. No interest of any beneficiary hereunder in either the principal or income
of my estate shall be subject or liable in any manner while in the possession of my
executor to anticipation, pledge, assignment, sale, transfer, charge or encumbrance,
1 /

whether voluntary or involuntary, or for any liabilities or obligations of such
beneficiary whether arising from his or her death, debts, contracts, torts or engagements
of any type.
5. Any property, either of income or principal, which is payable or
distributable to a minor under this Will shall be transferred to the surviving parents or
legal guardian for said minor to be held pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act with said surviving parents or legal guardian being
hereby nominated as the custodian thereof.
6. Except as otherwise required by law, in the administration of my estate,
my executor and successor executor shall individually have the following powers,
which may be exercised without leave of court, in addition to those powers as my
executors may have by law:
(a) To sell, exchange, grant options upon, or otherwise dispose of any
property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, or mixed, or interests therein,
wheresoever situate, at any time held by them, at public or private sale, for cash
or upon credit, in such manner, to such persons, and at such price, terms and
conditions as they may deem best, and no person dealing with them shall be
bound to see to the application of any funds paid to them.
(b) To distribute in cash or in kind, or paxtly in each, and in shares
different in kind from other shares, upon any division or distribution of any
property which they hold.

~~.~
(c) To make from time to time partial distributions in varying amounts
to the beneficiaries hereunder prior to final settlement and distribution of my
estate, and in connection therewith to determine in their discretion the time or
times when such partial distributions may require recomputation of said
beneficiaries' proportionate interests hereunder for the equitable allocation of
income or on account of changing asset values pending final distribution.
(d) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of the assets
and property held by them which any individual could exercise in the
management of similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms and
conditions as to them may seem best, and to execute and deliver all instruments
and to do all acts which they may deem necessary or proper to carry out such
management and their duties under this Will.
7. I hereby appoint my son, REVEREND DR. GEORGE H. CARPENTER, to
serve as executor of my estate hereunder. In the event my son, REVEREND DR.
GEORGE H. CARPENTER, predeceases me, or fails to serve or continue to serve as my
executor, I appoint my son, DR. JAMES J. CARPENTER, as successor executor of my
estate hereunder. My executor and successor executor shall not be required in any
jurisdiction to file, enter or post any bond or other security for the faithful performance
of their duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for the acts, omissions or defaults of
any agent appointed by them with due care.

8. Except as otherwise provided in this Will, I direct that all estate,
inheritance, legacy, transfer, succession and death taxes, whatsoever nature or kind and
by whatsoever jurisdiction imposed, and all interest and penalties thereon, which may
be payable or assessed by reason off my death, whether or not with respect to the
property passing under this Will, shall be paid out of and charged against the principal
in my residuary estate in the same manner as are general administration expenses of
my estate so that all property subject to such taxes shall pass free and clear thereof,
without apportionment of or reimbursement for such taxes, interest or penalties among
any beneficiaries, transferees or other persons interested in such property and without
any right of any estate or executor to contribution recovery or collection for the same.

hand to this my Last Will, typewritten on and consisting of these four (4) sheets of
paper, at the bottom of each of the preceding pages of which I also have placed my
