expenses, including the cost of my gravemarker, if any, shall
be paid from my estate as soon as practicable after my decease
as a part of the administrative expenses of my estate.
ITEM II. I give and devise all of my estate of every
nature and wherever situate to my wife, BETTY M. RITCHEY, provided
she survives me by thirty (30) days. Should she predecease
me or die on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following my
death, then I give and devise the same as follows:
A. I give my wife's one-carat diamond engagement
ring to my sister, BETTY CLAAR.
B. My wife's one-half-carat diamond ring to her nephew,
TAYLOR K. MILLER.
C. All antique furniture, cut glass, pictures, sterling
silver, dishes and china I give in equal shares to my sister-in-law,
CARMEN RITCHEY and my wife's brother, ROBERT MILLER, to be divided
among them as they agree, or if they cannot agree, as my executor
decides.
D. The rest of my estate I give and devise as follows:
1. One-half thereaf to my wife's brother, ROBERT

ITEM III. I appoint my wife, BETTY M. RITCHEY, Executrix
of this my Last Will and Testament. Should she fail to qualify
or cease to act in such capacity, I then appoint her nephew,
TAYLOR K. MILLER, as Contingent Executor of this my Last will
and Testament. No bond shall be required by my Personal Representative
in any jurisdiction.
ITEM IV. In addition to the powers given by law to
my Personal Representative (herein fiduciary) in the administration
of my estate, he shall have the following discretionary powers
applicable to all real and personal property held by him, including
property held for minors, effective without court order until
actual distribution.
(The words "he" and "him" as used herein
shall be deemed to include the words "she", "it", "they", "his",
and "her" as appropriate.)
A. To retain any property owned by me at my death
and to invest any funds held by him in any stocks, bonds, notes
or other securities or property, real or personal, it being
my intention to give him the broadest investment powers possible
within the limitations of the law.
B. To sell or otherwise dispose of any property,
real or personal, at any time forming a part of my estate or
the Trust estate, for cash or upon credit, in such manner and
on such terms as he sees fit, and no one dealing with the fiduciary
shall be bound to see to the application of any monies paid.
C. To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage
or lease for any term any real estate at any time held or owned
by him as fiduciary.
D. To hold investments in the name of a nominee and
exercise and dispose of warrants.
E. To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate
or abandon claims and property.
F. To conduct any business in which I am engaged
or in which I have an interest at the time of my death, for

such period as the fiduciary deems advisable, with the power
to borrow money and to pledge the assets of the business and
do all other acts, which I, in my lifetime, could have done,
or to delegate such powers to a partner, manager or employee,
without liability for any loss occurring therein.
G. To allocate items of receipt of disbursement between
principal and income as the fiduciary deems equitable regardless
of the character given such items by law; to distribute in cash
or kind or partly in each at valuations fixed by the fiduciary.
H. In general, to exercise all powers in the management
of the assets 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 the fiduciary may deem best,
and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts
which the fiduciary may deem necessary or proper to carry out
the purposes of this will.
I. To apply income or principal to which any beneficiary
is entitled, directly for his or her comfort, maintenance and
support, should the fiduciary deem such beneficiary incapable
of receiving the same by reason of age, illness, infirmity or
incapacity, or to pay the same to such person or persons as
the fiduciary selects to disburse it, whose receipt shall be
a complete acquittance therefore without the intervention of
any guardian.
J. To assume continuance of the status of any beneficiary
with reference to death, marriage, divorce, illness, incapacity
or other change in the absence of information deemed reliable
without liability for disbursements made on such assumptions.
K. No interest of any beneficiary of my estate shall
be subject to anticipation or to pledge, assignment, sale or
transfer by such beneficiary, nor shall any beneficiary have
the power in any manner to charge or encumber his or her interest,
l;p~f).~1v

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, whether such liability
arises from his or her debts, contracts, torts or other agreements
of any type and the same may not be liable for any levy, attachment,
execution or sequestration while in the hands of any fiduciary.
