L�AST WILL AND TESTAM�NT N `� �
I, AUDREY J. AUSTIN, of the Borough of Mechanicsburg, 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.
ONE. I direct my Executor or Executrix,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 my gross estate for
death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid by the
Executor or Executrix of my estate. Further, to the extent that sufficient assets exist in my estate,
any and all inheritance or other estate taxes, whether to non-charitable or charitable beneficiaries,
shall be paid by my Executor or Executrix from the residuary of my estate prior to distribution and
no part of the taxes paid shall be prorated or apportioned among the persons or beneficiaries
receiving the taxable property regardless of tax rate applicable by law to each such persons or
beneficiaries.
TWO. My Executor or Executrix may, at his or her discretion, compromise claims,
borrow money, retain property for such length of time as he or she may deem proper; lease and
sell property for such prices, on such terms, at public or private sales, as he or she may deem
proper; and invest estate property and income without restriction to legal investments unless
otherwise provided hereunder. I authorize and empower my Executor or Executrix 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
1
� � y .
therefor, in fee simple, as I could do if living. My Executor or Executrix 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 Executor or Executrix.
THREE. I give,devise and bequeath all of my estate of whatever nature and wherever
situate to my six children, share and share alike, per stirpes, which provides that the child or
children of any deceased beneficiary shall take the share their parent would have taken if living.
FOUR. I hereby nominate and appoint TAMURA E. COOK 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 does not serve for whatever reason,I then appoint ANGELE R. FINNEY to be the Substutie
Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament, whereby the said Substitute Executrix shall have
the same powers as are given to the original Executrix hereunder.
FIVE. No person(s) shall benefit hereunder unless such beneficiary shall survive
me by sixty(60) days.
SIX. No Executor or Executrix acting hereunder shall be required to post bond
or enter security in this or any other jurisdiction.
SEVEN. No beneficiary may assign, anticipate or pledge his or her interest in any
income or principal held or distributable hereunder,and no beneficiary's creditors may levy,attach
or otherwise reach any such interest.
EIGHT. If any person or institution 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 or institution shall forfeit his, her or its
entire interest inherited hereunder and all provisions in favor of such person or institution shall be
2
_ • . J
declared void and of no effect. The share of such person or institution so forfeited shall be
distributed as part of the residue hereof except that if such person or institution is entitled to share
in the said residue, that interest shall be distributed proportionately to the other residuary
distributes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 2� day of April,
2015.
