OF � ,j;`
PAULINE C. MOWERY
I, PAULINE C. MOWERY, of iUl North Prince Streei, Shippensburg Fast �ffice,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, revoke any prior Wills and Codicils and declare this to be
my Will.
ITEM 1. I give my automobiles,household and personal effects and other tangible
personalty of like nature (not including cash and securities), together with any existing insurance
thereon, in as nearly equal shares as practicable, to my children, SAMUEL A. MOWERY,
MARY C. MASON, CHARLES B. MOWERY,NORMAN G. MOWERY, JOY M. MOWERY,
GRACE M. REESE, and EVA JANE TUTCH. The gifts in this Item 1 of my Will are subject to
the deductions set forth in Item 2 regarding gifts to JOY M. MOWERY and SAMUEL A.
MOWERY.
ITEM 2. I give all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate in equal shares to
my children, SAMUEL A. MOWERY,MARY C. MASON, CHARLES B. MOWERY,
NORMAN G. MOWERY, JOY M. MOWERY, GRACE M. REESE, and EVA JANE TUTCH,
each to receive his or her share upon surviving me by thirty days. Notwithstanding this bequest,
however, with this bequest and the bequests of Item 1 of this Will, I direct that there be deducted
from the share of JOY M. MOWERY the total sum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000),which I
313755-1
had previously extended to her as a loan. I also deduct from the share of SAMUEL A.
MOWERY the total sum of Eight Thousand One Hundred Forty-One Dollars ($8,141). These
deducted sums shall be given instead in equal shares to my other children or their issue per
stirpes.
ITEM 3. If any child is not living on the thirty-first day after my death, I give his or
her share tu nis or her issue per stirpes who survive me by thirty days. If any child is not livir_g
on the thirty-first day after my death and leaves no issue who are living on the thirty-first day
after my death, that child's share shall lapse and be given instead to my other beneficiaries in
proportion as they take shares of my estate.
ITEM 4. I direct that all my just debts and the expenses of my illness and burial,
including my grave marker, shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable after
my death as part of the expense of the administration of my estate.
ITEM 5. In addition to the powers granted by law or by other parts of this Will, my
Executrices and Trustee shall have the following powers:
(a) To retain any and all assets of my estate and trust, real,personal, or
mixed, without regard to any principle of diversification,risk, or productivity, except as
may be otherwise expressly provided herein;
(b) To sell at public or private sale, to exchange, to lease,to pledge, to
mortgage, to transfer, to convert, or otherwise dispose of, and to grant options with
respect to, any and all property, real, personal, or mixed, at any time forming part of my
313755-1
estate or trust estate in such manner, at such time or times, for such purposes, for such
price or prices and upon such terms, credits, and conditions as may be deemed advisable;
(c) To invest and reinvest the estate and trust property in stocks,
bonds, mortgages, notes, insurance policies, annuities, common trust fund participation,
or other property of any kind, real, personal, or mixed, irrespective of any statute, case,
rule, or custom limiting the investment of trust funds, except as expressly provided
otherwise herein;
(d) To settle, compromise, contest,prosecute, or abandon claims in
favor of or against my estate or any trust as may be deemed advisable;
(e) To allocate receipts and disbursements to principal or income or
partly to both and to ascertain principal or income in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;
(fl To make distribution or division of the trust or estate in cash, in
kind, or partly in both, to postpone distribution by agreement with a beneficiary and to
distribute articles of tangible property to a minor or to any person to hold for a minor
within the limits authorized by statute or rule of law; and
(g) To exercise any law-given option to treat administration expenses
either as income tax or estate tax deductions,without regard to whether the expenses
were paid from principal or income, and without requiring reimbursement.
ITEM 6. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Will, I direct that if any
beneficiary of mine is under twenty(20) years of age,my Trustee shall retain whatever share
such beneficiary otherwise would have received hereunder and apply so much of such share or
313755-1
the income thereof as my Trustee considers advisable for the beneficiary's support, education,
and maintenance, accumulating any income not needed for these purposes. It is my wish that
such beneficiary have an education beyond high school, if desired, and funds may be used for
such education if the beneficiary so desires, including vocational and business school, college,
graduate, and post-graduate school. When a beneficiary attains the age of twenty(20) years, the
Trustee shall distribute to such beneficiary the then remaining principal and income of his or her
share, discharged of the trust, or shall be paid to such beneficiaries of the estate in the event of
death prior to that time.
ITEM 7. No interest of any beneficiary under this Will or any trust established
hereunder or any codicil hereto shall be subjected to anticipation.
ITEM 8. No bond shall be required by my Executrices and Trustee,but if bond is
nevertheless required, it shall be without surety. -
ITEM 9. I appoint my daughters, GRACE M. REESE and EVA JANE TUTCH,
Executrices. If either of my daughters fail to qualify or cease to act, the remaining daughter shall
serve as Executrix.
ITEM 10. I appoint MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY,
(M&T BANK), successor to Allfirst Bank, Trustee. If, however,this Bank declines to serve as
Trustee of any trust, I appoint my Executrices, or the survivor of them, as Trustee(s).
313755-1
ITEM 11. I note to my Executrices that I have retained the services of Jered L. Hock,
Esquire, and the firm of Metzger, Wickersham, Knauss &Erb, P.C., in connection with the
writing of this Will.
