LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
RUTH C. MENNIG
I, RUTH C. MENNIG, of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, make, publish and declare this as
and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all
other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST: I devise and bequeath all the rest,
residue and remainder of my estate of whatever nature
and wherever situate, including any property over which
I hold power of appointment and together with any
insurance policies thereon, as follows:
(A) Thirty (300) percent thereof to my niece,
RUTH MOWBRAY, provided that should she predecease me, I
give and bequeath her share to my friend, JEANNE L.
LEABHART.
(B) Seventy (700) percent thereof to my
friend, JEANNE L. LEABHART, provided that should she
predecease me, I give and bequeath her share to her
husband, DONALD K. LEABHART.
SECOND: In addition to all powers granted to
them by law and by other provisions of this Will, I
give the fiduciaries acting hereunder the following
powers, applicable to all property, exercisable withoutt
court approval and effective until actual distribution
of all property:
(A) To sell at public or private sale, or to
lease, for any period of time, any real or personal
property and to give options for sales, exchanges or
leases, for such prices and upon such terms (including
credit, with or without security) or conditions as are
deemed proper. This includes the power to give legally
sufficient instruments for transfer of the property and
to receive the proceeds of any disposition of it.
(B) To partition, subdivide, or improve real
estate and to enter into agreements concerning the
partition, subdivision, improvement, zoning or
management of real estate and to impose or extinguish
restrictions on real estate.
(C) To compromise any claim or controversy and
to abandon any property which is of little or no value.
(D) To invest in all forms of property,
including stocks, common trust funds and mortgage
investment funds, without restriction to investments
authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as are deemed
proper, without regard to any principle of diversifi-
cation, risk or productivity.
(E) To exercise any option, right or privilege
granted in insurance policies or in other investments.
(F) To exercise any election or privilege
given by the Federal and other tax laws, including, but
not necessarily being limited to, personal income, gift
and estate or inheritance tax laws.
2
(G) To make distributions to my herein named
beneficiaries in cash or in kind or partly in each.
(H) To borrow money from themselves or others
in order to pay debts, taxes, or estate or trust
administration expenses, to protect or improve any
property held under my will, and for investment
purposes.
(I) To select a mode of payment under any
qualified retirement plan (pension plan, profit sharing
plan, employee stock ownership plan, or any other type
of qualified plan) to the extent the plan or the law
permits them to do so, and to exercise any other rights
which they may have under the plan, in whatever manner
they consider advisable.
THIRD: I direct that all inheritance, estate,
transfer, succession and death taxes, of any kind
whatsoever, which may be payable by reason of my death,
whether or not with respect to property passing under
this Will, shall be paid out of the principal of my
residuary estate.
FOURTH: All interests hereunder, whether
principal or income, which are undistributed and in the
possession of the fiduciaries acting hereunder, even
though vested or distributable, shall not be subject to
attachment, execution or sequestration for any debt,
contract, obligation or liability of any beneficiary,
3
and furthermore, shall not be subject to pledge,
assignment, conveyance or anticipation.
FIFTH: I nominate and appoint JEANNE L.
LEABHART, Executrix of this, my Last Will and
Testament. In the event of the death, resignation or
inability to serve for any reason whatsoever of the
said JEANNE L. LEABHART, I nominate and appoint RUTH
MOWBRAY, Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testament.
I direct that my Executrix, and their successors, shall
not be required to post security or a bond for the
performance of their duties in any jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
