I, ROY D. WRIGHT, of Newville, Cumberland County, and Co�onwealth of
Pennsylvania, make this my Last Will and Testament and revoke all prior Wills
and testamentary instruments of any kind.
ARTICLE I. PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND FUNERAL EXPENSES. I direct my Executor to
pay all my just debts and funeral expenses from my estate.
ARTICLE II. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. My automobiles,
clothing, �ewelry, books, pictures, furniture, furnishings, and other personal
or household items shall be transferred according to a list which I intend to
attach to this Will.
If there is no list, then all such personal and household items shall be
paid over and transferred to my sisters and brother, MELVA A. WRIGHT, D. MARIE
WRIGHT, and MARLIN P. WRIGHT, according to their own arrangements. If they
cannot agree or arrange for a division in a friendly way, then my Executor may
distribute or dispose of those items in any way he deems to be fair, including
private sales or a public sale.
ARTICLE III. RESIDUE AND REMAINDER. All the remainder of the property that I
may own or that I may be entitled to dispose of or to appoint at the time of
my death shall be divided into three (3) equal shares. I give, devise,
bequeath, and appoint one (1) equal share to each of the following of my

Any reference to "Executor" in my Will shall be deemed and taken to
include each and everq person or party named or appointed to serve as the
personal representative of my estate, whether there is one or more than one.
Also, any reference to the masculine in my Will as it relates to my Executor
shall also include the feminine and the neuter wherever necessary. In the

be waived, I direct that no Executor named in my Will or any persons
succeeding in that office, whether in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or
elsewhere, shall ever be required to post any bond or give any security in
connection with his duties.
ARTICLE VI. EXECUTOR'S POWERS. In addition to powers given him by law and by
other provisions of my Will, my Executor shall have the following powers,

for sales, exchanges, or leases for such prices and upon such terms or
conditions as he deems proper. No purchaser shall be held liable to see to
the application of any purchase money;

death for whatever period of time he shall think proper, with full powers in
the property, including the power to borrow and to pledge assets contained in
my estate as security for said borrowings;
F. To exercise any rights or elections to pay death taxes in
installments and to make interest payments on such installments as a charge
against the principal of my estate;

All the foregoing powers, together with those granted by law to
executors, may be exercised by the Executor named in my Will and by all
persons succeeding in said office, including administrators with Will annexed.
