County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void any and all former Wills, Codicils, or writings in the nature thereof, by me at any time heretofore made. FIRST: I hereby order and direct my Executrix or Executor, hereinafter named, to pay all my just debts, funeral expenses, testamentary expenses and all Inheritance, Estate, Transfer and Succession Taxes, as soon as may be conveniently done after my death, out of my residuary estate. SECOND: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, be it real, personal or mixed, of whatsoever kind and wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my children, per stirpes, as follows: A. One-quarter (1/4) to my daughter, MARJORIE S. HOUCK, of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania; B. One-quarter (1/4) to my daughter, CONNIE S. SHEARER, of New York state; C. One-quarter (1/4) to my daughter, CAROLYN S. URSa, of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; D. One-eighth (1/8) to my son, BARRY L. SHEARER, of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania; and E. One-eighth (1/8) to my son, BARRY L. SHEARER, of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, IN TRUST for the benefit of my grandson, CASEY LEE SHEARER, of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. The Trustee shall invest the funds in good and safe securities, legal for Trust funds in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and may use the income derived therefrom for the support, maintenance, health, education and general welfare of my said grandson. In addition, I hereby authorize and empower the Trustee to use as much of the principal as he in his sole discretion shall deem necessary and proper for the support, maintenance, health, education and general welfare of my said grandson, and to distribute absolutely to him the principal and accumulated income, if any, upon their attainment of the age of twenty-five (25) years. The difference in the shares above reflects my appreciation to my daughters who have helped me with my personal expenses over the years. THIRD: I intend to leave with my Will a list of personal property to be designated to be received by various relatives. I instruct my Executor, herein named, to respect said list as my intentions and to treat it as being incorporated in my Will. To the extent that I do not specify all items of personal property, I direct that my children, as 2 supervised and directed by my Executor, shall have the right to receive in kind any items of personal property not so specified, the value of which unspecified items shall be utilized to adjust the proportionate shares of my residuary estate as set forth above. Any items not so sold may be sold by my Executor at public or private sale, the net proceeds of which shall be added to my residuary estate. LASTLY: I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, MARJORIE S. HOUCK, to be the Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event that the said MARJORIE S. HOUCK shall be unable to serve as Executrix for any reason, I appoint my daughter, CAROLYN S. URSO, as Executrix. No Executor or Executrix shall be required to file bond in this or any other jurisdiction.
