'��. w �
I, J. ROBERT MARTIN, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do
hereby make this my Last Will and Testament, revoking any former
Wills and Codicils made by me .
FIRST: I am married to Eva Marie Martin, with whom I have a
Pre-Nuptial Agreement dated June 23 , 1998 . I refer to her in
this Will as my wife. I have three children: John R. Martin,
Jr. (born January 10, 1948) ; D. Scott Martin (born September 13 ,
1951) ; and David P. Martin (born January 4 , 1963) . These chil-
dren are described in this Will as "my children, �� cr as "a child
of mine . �� Any person born to or adopted by a child of mine is
described in this Will as "my issue . �� Provided, however, no
adopted person shall benefit hereunder unless the order or decree
of adoption is entered before such adopted person attains the age
of twenty-one (21) years .
SECOND: I give to my wife my interest in all tangible
personal property that I own individually or own jointly with her
whether as joint tenants or as tenants by the entireties, to-
gether with all casualty insurance coverage thereon. However,
should my wife predecease me, I give my individually owned
tangible personal property and all casualty insurance coverage
thereon to such of my children who are living at my death to be
GL'�.
-1-
divided equitably among or between them as they may determine,
or, if they are unable to agree, as my Executor shall determine,
after considering the wishes of such children. I have complete
confidence that my wife, my children or my Executor will honor
the Pre-Nuptial Agreement and any written instructions that I may
leave with regard to tangible personal property, provided that
said written instructions are not more restrictive to my wife
than the Pre-Nuptial Agreement . Any such property not distrib-
uted hereunder shall be sold, and the proceeds added to my
residuary estate to pass as hereafter described.
THIRD: I am the owner of rights under certain retirement
funds, which I plan to direct in whole or in part to my wife, to
my children, to my issue and to one or more educational and
charitable institutions . I recognize that I am not obligated to
direct retirement funds to my wife, but intend to do so in
recognition of the happiness that our marriage has brought to me .
I also plan to direct life insurance proceeds to my children.
FOURTH: I allocate the rest, residue and remainder of my
estate as follows :
(a) To my son, David P, Martin, Sixty Thousand Dollars
($60, 000) , with confidence that he will divide it equally among
his three children and use it at his discretion for college
education or other training or care when each of his children
� C
-2-
reaches college age . This gift shall be increased or decreased
by cumulative increases or decreases in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United SCates Department of Labor from
November 1, 1999, to the beginning of the third full monCh
prior to Che date of my death. Should said CPI-U cease to be
published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, then the calculation shall be based on the
closest successor index as identified by the United States
Department of Labor. If no such successor index exists, the
calculation shall be based on a cost of living index to be chosen
by my ExecuCor. Should my son, David P. Martin, predecease me,
leaving issue, this gift shall be made available to his issue,
per stirpes , In default of said issue, this gift shall be and
become null and void.
(b? My Executor shall divide the balance of the rest,
residue and remainder of my estate into as many equal shares as
will allow my Executor to set apart one share for each child of
mine who shall then be living and one share for the issue who
shall then be living of each child of mine who predeceased me .
Each share set apart for a child of mine shall be distributed to
such child. Each share set apart for the issue then living of a
deceased child of mine shall be distributed as follows : one-half
-3-
(1/2) of such share to the surviving spouse of my deceased child,
if any, provided that such surviving spouse has not remarried;
and the balance of such share remaining after any distribution to
a surviving and unmarried spouse, to the issue of my deceased
child per stirpes .
FIFTH: If all the beneficiaries described in Item FOURTH
above are deceased and no other disposition of the residue of my
estate is directed by this Will , then and in that event only, I
give, devise and begueath the rest, residue and remainder of my
estate, real and personal, to Messiah Village Endowment Fund
i45%) ; Messiah College (25%) ; and to Daystar U.S . (30%) , without
restriction as to use .
SIXTH: If any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years
sha11 become entitled to any share hereunder, then such share
shall immediately vest in such beneficiary, but notwithstanding
the provisions herein, my Executor may distribute such benefi-
ciary' s share to any adult person standing in loco parentis, or
to a legal guardian of such beneficiary, or to a custodian (to be
selected by my Executor) under the applicable Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act , without requiring bond of such adult person, guardian
or custodian. The receipt of such adult person, guardian or
custodian shall constitute a full release of my Executor for any
property so distributed.
V Ih�RM

SEVENTH: If any beneficiary and I should die under such
circumstances as would render it doubtful whether the beneficiary
or l died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the
purposes of this my Will that said beneficiary predeceased me.
EIGHTH: (1) I name as my Executrix my wife, Eva Marie
Martin, but if she is unable or unwilling to serve, I name as my
Executor L. Nelson Wingert, CLU, 3901 Hartzdale Drive, Camp Hill,
PA 17011-7843 , but if he is unable or unwilling to serve, I name
as my Executor PNC Bank, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania . I direct that my Executrix or Executor serve
without bond in any jurisdiction in which called upon to act .
(2) Except as otherwise provided herein, if PNC Bank
should fail to qualify as my Executor hereunder, or for any
reason should cease to act in such capacity, the successor or
substitute Executor shall be some attorney or bank or trust
company with trust powers, which successor or substitute Executor
shall be designated in a written instrument filed with the court
having jurisdiction over the probate of my estate and signed by
or on behalf of my oldest child, or if he fails to act, by the
court having jurisdiction over the probate of my estate .
(3) For services as Executrix/Executor, my Executrix/
Executor shall receive reasonable compensation.

A ��a�
NINTH: (1) I give to any Executrix/Executor named in this
Will or any Codicil hereto or to any successor or substitute
Executor all of the powers enumerated in this Will and all of the
powers applicable by law to fiduciaries in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and in particular through the Pennsylvania Probate,
Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as effective and as in effect on
the date hereof, during the administration and until the comple-
tion of the distribution of my estate . I direct that all such
powers shall be construed in the broadest possible manner and
shall be exercisable without court authorization.
(2) My Executor is authorized and empowered to dis-
claim any interest, in whole or in part, of which I, or my
Executor, may be the beneficiary, devisee, or legatee, by execut-
ing an appropriate instrument (in accordance with section 2518 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such similar
section as may then be in effect) .
(3) My Executor is authorized and empowered to allo-
cate property, charges on property, receipts and income among and
between principal or income, or partly to each, without regard to
any law defining principal and income .
TENTH: All estate, inheritance, succession and other death
taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and interest and
penalties thereon with respect to all property comprising my
�
-6-
gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property
passes under this Will , shall be paid out of the residue of my
estate, as if such taxes were expenses of administration, without
apportionment or right of reimbursement . I authorize my Executor
to pay all such taxes at such time or times as deemed advisable .
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and seal on this my
Last Will and Testament this�-7� day of G� 2000 .
