H ' ALAS'T WILL AND TESTAMENT
C1 MBr'_-1iLi V' o Go I5a
I, JOHN E. DYSON, of South Middleton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
being of sound mind, disposing memory and full legal age, do hereby make, publish and declare
this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils heretofore made
by me.
1. I direct my Executrix or Substitute Executor, as the case may be, to pay all of my
debts, funeral and administrative expenses as soon as convenient after my decease. Furthermore,
I direct that all state, inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason
of my death and interest and penalties thereon with respect to all property composing of my gross
estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid
by the Executrix or Substitute Executor from my estate, and that none of the aforesaid taxes shall
be prorated among those persons named herein or otherwise beneficiaries hereunder.
2. My Executrix or Substitute Executor may, at her discretion, compromise claims,
borrow money, retain property for such length of time as she may deem proper; lease and sell
property for such prices, on such terms, at public or private sales, and invest estate property and
income without restriction to legal investments unless otherwise provided hereunder.
3. I authorize and empower my Executrix or Substitute Executor to sell any realty and/or
personalty owned by me at my death and not specifically devised or bequeathed herein, at public
or private sale or sales and to give good and sufficient deeds and/or bills of sale therefore, in fee
simple, as I could do if living. My Executrix or Substitute Executor is authorized and
empowered to engage in any business in which I may be engaged at my death, for such period of
time after my death as seems expedient to said Executrix or Substitute Executor.
4. I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate of whatever nature and wherever situate to
my five (5) children as follows:
JOHN J. DYSON,per stirpes...............................12.5%
DEBORAH L. HERSHEY,per stirpes..................37.5%
MICHAEL W. DYSON,per stirpes.......................12.5%
MARK V. DYSON,per stirpes......................................12.5%
DORA J. KUNTZ,per stirpes...............................25%
Per Stirpes means the child or children of any deceased child takes the share their parent
would have taken if living. If one of my children dies without living issue, the share of said
deceased child shall be distributed in equal shares to my other children living at the time of my
death.
5. 1 nominate and appoint DEBORAH L. HERSHEY to be the Executrix of this my
Last Will and Testament. In the event she has predeceased me, failed to qualify or is not able or
2
does not serve for whatever reason, I then appoint MARK V. DYSON to be the Substitute
Executor of this my Last Will and Testament, whereby the said Substitute Executor shall have
the same powers as are given to the original Executrix hereunder.
6. No person(s) shall benefit hereunder unless such beneficiary shall survive me by sixty
(60) days.
7. No Executrix or Substitute Executor acting hereunder shall be required to post bond or
enter security in this or any other jurisdiction.
8. No beneficiary may assign, anticipate or pledge her or his interest in any income or
principal held or distributable hereunder, and no beneficiary's creditors may levy, attach or
otherwise reach any such interest.
9. If any person entitled to share in any distribution under the terms of this my Last Will
and Testament becomes an adverse party in any proceeding to contest the probate of this Last
Will and Testament, such person shall forfeit his or her entire interest inherited hereunder and all
provisions in favor of such person shall be declared void and of no effect. The share of such
person so forfeited shall be distributed as part of the residue pursuant to Paragraph No. 5 hereof,
as the case may be, except that if such person is entitled to share in the said residue, that interest
shall be distributed proportionately to the other residuary beneficiaries.
