BE IT REMEMBERED, that I, HARRIET V. WATTS, of 1102 Floribunda Lane,
?vlech ucsburg, Upper rVlen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound mind,
memory, and understanding, do make, publish, and declare this as and for my Last Will and
Testament, hereby revoking and making null and void any and all Wills and Testaments and writings
i
in the nature thereof by me at any time heretofore made.
I
ITEM I: 1 direct that my hereinafter named Co-Executors pay all my just debts, my
funeral expenses,and the expenses ofthe administration of my estate, With this direction,I authorize
and empower my Co-Executors to expend for my funeral expenses and interment such amounts as
I
may be considered necessary and proper, without regard to any limit that may be prescribed by a
court of law.
I
ITEM 2: I direct my Co-Executors to pay all inheritance,estate, succession, and legacy
taxes of whatsoever nature and kind, to which my estate or the transfer of any property passing
hereunder or otherwise passing by reason of my demise, may be subject and to charge such taxes
against my residuary estate, it being my intention that none of the aforesaid taxes, either federal or
state, on any property required to be included in my grass estate, under the provisions of any state
or federal law now in force or hereafter enacted, shall be prorated among the persons interested in
my estate to whom such property is or may be transferred or to whom any benefit accrues.
ITEM 3: All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever nature and
i
wheresoever situate, whether it be real, personal or mixed, including property over which I have a
I
t
power of appointment, I give, devise, and bequeath unto my Co-Trustees hereafter named for the
following uses and purposes:
1
A. I direct that all income earned by the Trust be paid to my daughter, SUZANNE V.
RITTER, presently of 103 Neponsit Lane, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, no less
frequently than quarter-annually.
B. I authorize and direct my Co-Trustees to utilize or distribute for the benefit of my
daughter, SUZANNE V. RITTER, any amount of the principal, even if it includes
all of the principal, as my Trustees, in their sole discretion, may deem appropriate
under the circumstances,
My failure to provide for other members of my family is not an oversight, but a
decision made after much soul searching, and is not to be construed as an expression
of greater love for one member than another, but a disposition deemed appropriate
x
under the circumstances.
ITEM 4: On the occurrence of the death of my daughter,Suzanne V.Ritter,I direct that
all funds which remain in the Trust be distributed to my granddaughter, MEAGAN PRYOR, per
stirpes.
ITEM 5: I appoint PRUDENTIAL BACHE and my granddaughter, MEAGAN
PRYOR, as Co-Trustees of the Trust hereinbefore established,directing that they be appointed and
authorized to serve without the need to post bond.
ITEM 6: I nominate, constitute, and appoint my daughter, SUZANNE V. RITTER,
Page 2
I
and my granddaughter, MEAGAN PRYOR, or the survivor of them, to serve as Co-Executors of
i
this my Last Will and Testament,directing that they not be required to post bond to assure the faithful
performance of their duties in this, or any other jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this #10 day of
