I, RODNEY F. WOLF, married man, of 307 Avon Drive, Carlisle $�rough,�ur��iiand
County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory�,,an�l unde,�anc�� do
hereby make, publish, and declare this as and for my Last Will and Tes"fament, he e�y revoking
and making void any and all Wills by me at any time heretofore made.
1. I direct my hereinafter named Executor to pay all of my debts to which I am bound
and the expenses of my funeral, last illness, and of the administration of my estate as soon after
my death as may be found convenient to do so. If I have not made arrangements during my
lifetime, I direct my hereinafter named Executor to make arrangements for my burial at Stone
Church Cemetery where my parents and other family members are buried
2. All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, real, personal, or mixed, and
wheresoever the same may be situate, I give, devise, and bequeath to my wife, ASONIA H.
WOLF, her heirs and assigns, to the exclusion of my child or children, born or unborn. In the
event that my said wife should predecease me or fail to survive me by the aforesaid period of
ninety (90) days, then in such event all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real,
personal and mixed, and wheresoever the same may be situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my
step-daughter,AISSA C. MILLER. I have made this bequest in this manner because my primary
concern is that my farm not be sold as a result of my death and that the current farming
arrangements be continued for as long as it is possible. I am leaving written directions to each of
them as to how I would like my estate eventually distributed to my family, but I am leaving the
timing, manner and amount of distributions in their sole discretion, recognizing that they will
honor my desire to maintain my family farm, pay expenses as may be necessary to maintain the
farm and to treat my family fairly.
3. I hereby nominate,constitute,and appoint my wife,ASONIA H. WOLF, as Executrix
of this my Last Will and Testament, but should she predecease me or fail to qualify, then in such
e.vent I nomina±e, constitute, and appoint my step-daughter, AISSA C. MILLER, as Exeeutr�x,
but should she predecease me or fail to qualify, then in such event I nominate, constitute, and
appoint my step-son, JOHN C. McALLEN, as Executor, and i further direct that none of them
shall be required to post any bond to secure the faithful performance of his or her duties in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or in any other jurisdiction.
4. In addition to the powers conferred by law, my herein named Executors and Trustees
are empowered:
a.To invest any part of the trust corpus in such securities,investments,or other property
as may be deemed advisable and proper,irrespective of whether the same are authorized for the
investment of trust funds under the laws of any governing jurisdiction.
b. With respect to any corporation,the stocks, bonds,or other securities of which may be
held,to vote in person or by proxy on any shares of stock; to consent to the merger,
consolidation or reorganization of such corporations; to consent to the leasing,mortgaging,or
sale of the property of any such corporations; to make any surrender,exchange or substitution of
such stocks,bonds,or other securities as an incident to the merger,consolidation or
reorganization of such corporations; to pay all assessments,subscriptions and other sums of
money which may be deemed wise and expedient for the protection and maintenance of the
proporiionate interest of the investment in sucii corporations; to exercise any option or privilege
which may be conferred upon the holders of such stocks,bonds,or other securities of such
corporations either for the conversion of the same into other securities or for the purchase of
additional securities,and to make any and all necessary payments which may be required in
connection therewith; and generally to have and exercise as to all such stocks,bonds,and other
securities,the powers of an individual owner who is under trust obligation.

for the proper discharge of fiduciary duties and for the proper management and administration of
the trust estate.
h. In making any division of property into shares for the purpose of any distribution
thereof directed by the provisions of the trust,to make such division or distribution,either in
cash or in kind,or partly in cash and partly in kind,as shall be deemed most expedient,and in
making any division or distribution in kind may allot any specific security or property or any
undivided interest therein to any one or more of such shares,and to that end may appraise any or
all of the property so to be allotted and the judgment as to the propriety of such allotment and as
to the relative value for purposes of distribution of the securities or property so allotted shall be
final and conclusive upon all persons interested in the trust or in the division or distribution
thereof.
i. Authorized to register any shares of stock or other assets of any trust in their own
names or in the name of a nominee.
j. To retain and invest in shares of stock of my Trustee.
k. To retain any investments including mutual funds which I may own at the time of my
death and in addition to invest any part of the Trust corpus in such mutual fund or mutual funds
as may be deemed advisable or proper,irrespective of whether the same are authorized for the
investment of trust funds under the laws of any governing jurisdiction.
1. To determine from time to time whether all or some portion of realized capital gains
shall be treated as ordinary income for distribution to a beneficiary or treated as principal to be
retained as part of the corpus,and such designation need not be consistent from one year to
another.
