I, Ernest A. Jones, Jr., of Mechanicsburg, 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. My wife, Jacqueline Jones (hereinafter referred to as "my
wife") , and I presently are the joint owners of a residence located
at, and known and numbered as 926 Willcliff Drive, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, which is our usual home. If my
wife survives me and at my death, our home, whether it be the one
which we now own described above or one which is hereafter acquired
by us, is held in any manner which will not result in the passage
to my wife of full title to such home by operation of law, I hereby
give and devise my entire interest in such home to my wife. If my
wife survives me, I specifically authorize my executrix to apply
assets of my estate to the satisfaction and discharge of any
mortgages, liens and other encumbrances, together with all interest
accrued thereon, which may exist with regard to such home at the
time of my death, whether passage to my wife of title to such home
is by operation of law or under this paragraph 1. If my wife does
not survive me, then our said home shall pass as part of my
residuary estate hereunder.

__---r

2. I hereby give and bequeath to my wife, if she survives
me, my entire interest in and to any and all furniture, antiques,
clothing, jewelry, pictures, statuary, works of art, silver, plate,
ornaments, bric-a-brac, tapestry, household goods, utensils and
supplies, books, linen, china, glass, automobiles, plants,
implements, and tools that may be in, at or about our home at the
time of my death, and all of my other tangible personal property,
together with all policies of insurance thereon.
If my wife does not survive me, all of the property above
described in this paragraph 2, except to the extent that certain
items thereof are otherwise provided for or specifically bequeathed
in this Will, I hereby give and bequeath to those of my children,
Jacqueline J. Walters, Julianne M. Ezzi, Jeanette J. McGough,
Jennifer Jones-Jobes, Jessica E. Jones and Jodi A. Harris, who may
survive me at the time of my death, to be divided between them or
among them in as equal shares as may be possible, as they may
mutually agree; should my said surviving children be unable to
agree between or among themselves upon such a division of said
property, alternate choice of individual items thereof shall be
made by them as follows: the first choice shall be made by my
oldest surviving child, the second choice shall be made by my next
oldest surviving child, and so on according to age until an equal
or nearly equal division and distribution of said property items is
completed.
k
~~

In the event that I am not survived at my death by my wife or
by any of my above-named children, then all of the property which
they would have taken under this paragraph 2 had they survived me
shall pass as part of my residuary estate hereunder.
3. If my wife does not survive me, I hereby specially give
and bequeath to my daughter, Jeanette J. McGough, if she survives
me, the Sterling Silver Flatware and the mahogany silverware chest
which are located in my home, together with all policies of
insurance thereon.
4. If my wife does not survive me, I hereby direct my
executrix to sell the 1988 XJ6 Jaguar Sedan at either a public or
private sale on such terms as my executrix, in her sole and
absolute discretion, shall deem best; provided, that my executrix
shall not sell said automobile to any member of my family or their
respective spouses with the exception of my daughter, Jeanette J.
McGough, if she survives me.
5. If my wife survives me at my death, I hereby give,
bequeath and devise to her 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.
6. If my wife does not survive me, then 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, I hereby give, bequeath and devise to my
children, Jacqueline J. Walters, Julianne M. Ezzi, Jeanette J.

McGough, Jennifer Jones-Jobes, Jessica E. Jones and Jodi A. Harris,
in equal shares. Should any of my said children predecease me,
then such predeceased child's share shall be divided and
distributed equally among or between those of her children who may
survive me at my death; should such predeceased child of mine leave
no children of her own surviving me, such predeceased child's share
of my residuary estate shall pass to my other surviving children,
or their children, as hereinbefore provided.
7. In the event that my wife and I die simultaneously or
under such circumstances that it cannot be established which of us
died first, then my wife shall be deemed to have predeceased me for
all purposes under this Will.
8. Should any legatee or devisee under this Will die within
ninety (90) days after the date of my death, he or she shall be
deemed to have predeceased me for all purposes under this Will.
Provided, that if my wife survives me at my death but dies within
ninety (90) days thereafter, she shall have for and during that
portion of such ninety (90) day period as she in fact is alive
after my death the right to the use and enjoyment as a life tenant
of all property in which her interest hereunder will fail by reason
of her death within said ninety (90) day period.
9. No statutorily provided interest shall be allowed or paid
on the gifts made under this Will. All net income of my estate
realized during its administration shall pass and be distributed to
m wife under paragraph 5 hereof, or to the residuary beneficiaries

under paragraph 6 hereof in proportion to their respective shares
of my residuary estate passing thereunder, as the case may be, with
no requirement that such income be accrued for or apportioned
between any successive beneficiaries hereunder.
10. 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 executrix to anticipation,
pledge, assignment, sale, transfer, charge or encumbrance, 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.
11. Any amounts, either of income or principal, which are
payable to a minor under this Will may at the sole discretion of my
executrix be paid either to a parent of such minor, to a guardian
of the person or of the estate of such minor, to the person who has
custody of such minor, or directly to such minor, or applied to or
for the benefit of such minor. The receipt by such parent,
guardian, custodian or minor, or evidence of the application of
such amount for the minor's benefit, shall be a full and complete
discharge of my executrix to the extent of such payment or
application.
12. Except as otherwise restricted, directed or provided in
this Will, or required by law, in the administration of my estate
hereunder, the fiduciaries serving under this Will shall have the

15. Subject to the restriction hereinafter set forth, I
direct that all estate, inheritance, legacy, transfer, succession
and death taxes, of whatsoever nature or kind and by whatsoever
jurisdiction imposed, and all interest and penalties thereon, which
may be payable or assessed in consequence of my death, whether or
not with respect to property passing under this Will, shall be paid
out of and charged against the principal of my residuary estate in
the same manner as are general administration expenses of my estate
so that all property subject to said taxes shall be and 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 my estate or executrix to contribution,
recovery or collection for the same. Taxes on any future or
remainder interests hereunder may be prepaid at and in the election
and discretion of my executrix to the extent permitted by law. In
no event, however, shall my executrix pay from or charge against my
residuary estate or any part thereof, any taxes imposed upon
generation-skipping transfers under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or any penalties or interest thereon.
