THIRD: All the rest, residue and remainder of my property, real, personal and mixed, of which I may die seized or possessed, or over which I may have the power of testamentary disposition of whatsoever kind and wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath unto my husband, EDWARD I. CURNES. FOURTH: Should my husband, EDWARD I. CURNES, predecease me, or should we die at the same time as a result of the same accident or disaster, or during a joint last illness, or under circumstances that are such that the order of our deaths cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty, then and in any of such events, I hereby direct that my residuary estate be distributed to my daughter and her husband, JO ANN HENRY and EARL M. HENRY, who presently reside at 1505 Grandview Road, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055, jointly or to the survivor thereof, in the event either my daughter or her husband shall predecease me. In the event, however, that both my daughter and her husband shall predecease me, or should die simultaneously with me, I direct that my residuary estate be distributed to the TRUSTEES OF THE SHIREMANSTOWN UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, Shiremanstown, Pennsylvania, In Trust, Nevertheless, to be invested and reinvested and the interest and principal thereof shall be used, in the judgment of said Trustees, for benevolent purposes only. FIFTH: I direct that all estate, inheritance, transfer, legacy or succession taxes, or death duties, which may be assessed or imposed of, wheresoever situate, whether or not passing under this my Last Will and Testament, including the taxable value of all policies of insurance on my life and all transfers, powers, rights or interests includible in my estate for the purpose of such taxes and duties, shall be paid out of my general estate as an expense of administration, and without apportionment, and shall not be prorated or charged against any of the gifts in this Will or against any property not passing under this Will. In the absolute discretion of my Executor, hereinafter named, he may pay such taxes immediately or may postpone the payment of the taxes on future or remainder interests until the time possession accrues to the beneficiary or beneficiaries named herein.

SEVENTH: I hereby direct that my Executor, or his successor, shall not be required to give bond or other security required by law or otherwise, for the faithful performance of their duties, whether as Executor or as successor Executor. EIGHTH: I hereby give unto my Executor, or his successor, hereinafter named, the fullest power and authority in all matters or questions pertaining to the administration of my estate and trust, executing the provisions of this my Last Will and Testament, including, but not by way of limitation, the power and authority to determine all doubtful questions which may arise in the construction of this my Last Will and Testament; I further hereby authorize and empower my Executor, or his successor, pending settlement of my estate, to sell, convey, mortgage, lease, ex- change, encumber or otherwise dispose of any and all of the prop- erty, real, personal or mixed at any time belonging to my estate, either at public or private sale, without prior approval of any court, and at such times and for such price or prices and in any such case upon such terms as he may think best in his discretion, and I authorize and empower my said Executor to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the purchasers, grantees, mortgagees, vendees, assignees or other persons, such contracts, deeds, mort- gages, bills of sale, and all other instruments of writing neces- -2- 2 C 31 o/y sary or proper without obligation upon the latter to see to the proper application of the proceeds. He shall also have the power to compromise or otherwise settle or adjust any and all claims, charges, debts and demands whatsoever against, or in favor of MY estate as fully as I could do if living. He shall further be empowered to carry on and conduct any business enterprise which I may be engaged in at my death, to retain any assets, including stocks or securities which I may own at the time of my death, pending settlement of my estate, without regard as to whether or not such assets or securities are legal investments for fiduciar- ies.
