MARY L. S WART Z
I, I�►RY L. SFll1RTZ, a resident of Carlisle, South Middleton
Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and
disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish, and
declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and
making all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter
named to pay all of my just debts, funeral expenses and expenses
involved or connected with the administration of my estate as
soon after my death as is reasonably possible. However, my
personal representative need not accelerate and pay those
unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might
be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as
they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a
grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my personal
representative, in his, her or its sole discretion, to purchase a
burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave,
and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose.
SBCOND
I give, devise and bequest the rest, residue and remainder
of my estate, together with all insurance proceeds thereon of
whatever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my
children, Raren L. Stum, Dottie L. itettatein and Amy S. Sitner, of
Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, per sti�r�pes. :

' � LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF MARY L. SWARTZ
It is further my desire that my personal representative, after
consultation with any heir or heirs of mine who survive me, and in
his, her or its own discretion, choose such articles from my
tangible personal property (exclusive of cash, stock certificates,
bonds, and all other tanqible evidences of intangible personal
property) as he, she or it believes will be useful to such heir or
heirs or desirable for him or her or them to have, either from a
sentimental point of view or otherwise, and to deliver such
articles to such heir or heirs or among such heirs in equal or
unequal shares as determined by the further exercise of his, her or
its discretion, provided no other heir objects to the distribution.
All tangible personal property not so distributed is to be sold,
either publicly or privately, by my personal representative, adding
the proceeds of such sale or sales to my residuary estate and to be
disposed of in equal shares among my surviving heirs after payment
of my estate debts, taking into account the tangible personal
property otherwise provided to them.
TSIRD
I grant my personal representative the following powers in
addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my personal
representative shall hold by law:
(a) To retain all property received including the stock of
and corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such
property remains productive.
(b) To join in any corporation, partnership,
recapitalization, merger, reorganization or voting

trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto;
to deposit investments under agreements and pay
assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of
investors, including but not limited to, the voting
of shares.
(c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease
on any terms and real estate held or owned by my
estate.
(d) To operate any business that I may own at my death.
(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds,
notes or other securities or property, real or
personal, without regard to the principle of
diversification or any other statute or general rule of
law in his, her or its absolute discretion, it beinq my
intention to give my personal representative the
broadest investment powers possible, providing such
investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt
settlement of my estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or
personal, tangible or intangible, at any time forminq a
part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and
conditions as my personal representative shall see fit
in his, her or its absolute discretion.
(g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any
other proper purposes in the administration of my
estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as
security.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF MARY L. SWARTZ
(h) To compromise claims without court approval including,
but not limited to, any controversies with the United

Testament.

distribution of my estate.
(j ) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and
proper by my personal representative for the proper,
advantageous and prompt management of the settlement of
my estate.
(k) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of
my estate which any individual could exercise in the
management of similar property owned in his own right,
upon such terms and conditions as to him, her or it may
seem best and to execute and deliver all instruments

or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last
Will and Testament.
FOUI2TH
No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in
income or in principal, shall be subject to anticipation or
pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner to charge or
encumber his interest either in income or principal, nor shall
the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any

'manner while in the possession of my personal representative for
the liability of such beneficiary.
FIFTH
I nominate, constitute and appoint my Daughter, Raren L. Stum,
of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as Executrix of this
my Last Will and Testament. If Karen L. Stum is unable or unwilling
to serve as Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament, then I
nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, Dottie L. fPettstein,
of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as Executrix of this

unwilling to serve as Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament,
then I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, Amy S. Bitner,
of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as Executrix of this
my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my personal representative
shall not be required to give or post bond for the faithful
