WHITTEN I, Betty K. Whitten, of North Middleton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament and revoke all Wills and Codicils previously made by me. ITEM I: I direct that all my legally enforceable debts and funeral expenses, including all expenses of my last illness, shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable after my decease as a part of the expense of the administration of my estate. ITEM II: I bequeath any automobiles or motor vehicles I may own at my death, my personal effects, such household goods if any as may be my individual property and not the property of my husband or owned jointly by me with him, and other tangible personal property of like nature (not including cash or securities), together with any existing insurance thereon, to my husband, Victor E. Whitten, Sr., providing he survives me by thirty (30) days. Should my said husband predecease me or die on or before the thirtieth day following my death, I bequeath such tangible personal property and insurance thereon to such of my children as are living on the thirty-first day after my death, to be divided among them by my personal representative(s) with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical. I direct that any of the foregoing articles not selected by such children shall be sold at public or private sale by my personal representative(s), and I further direct that the net proceeds thereof shall be administered and distributed as a part of the residue of my estate. ITEM III: I devise and bequeath the residue of my estate of every nature and wherever situate to my said husband, providing he survives me by thirty (30) days. ITEM IV: Should my said husband predecease me or die on or before the thirtieth day following my death, I devise and bequeath the residue of my estate of every nature and wherever situate in equal shares to my children, provided that the share of any child who predeceases me or dies on or before the thirtieth day following my death shall be distributed to his or her issue, per stirpes, living on the thirty-first day following my death, and in default of any such then living issue, such share shall be added to the share or shares for my other children. ITEM V: In the event any of my property should pass, either under this Will or otherwise, to a minor, I appoint the parent guardian of any such property with respect to which I am authorized to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so. Such guardian shall have the power to use principal, as well as income, from time to time for the minor's support, health and medical care, and education (including college education) without regard to his or her parent's ability to provide for such support, health and medical care, and education, or to make payment for these purposes, without further obligation or responsibility to see to the proper expenditure therefor, to the minor or to the minor's parent or to any person taking care of the minor. ITEM VI: All Federal, State and other death taxes payable because of my death, with respect to the property forming my gross estate for tax purposes, whether passing under this Will or otherwise, including any interest or penalty imposed in connection with such taxes, shall be considered a part of the expense of the administration of my estate and shall be paid out of the principal of my residuary estate without apportionment or right of reimbursement. ITEM VII: I appoint my said husband Executor of this my last Will. Should my said husband fail to qualify or cease to act as Executor, I appoint my son, Victor E. Whitten, Jr., of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Executor of this my last Will. ITEM VIII: I direct that all fiduciaries acting under this Will, whether or not named herein, shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of their duties in any jurisdiction.
