LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
MARY S. GRAHAM
I, MARY S. GRAHAM, of the Borough of Camp Hill, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make this my Last Will and Testament,
revoking any former Wills and Codicils made by me.
FIRST, I give my tangible personal property and all insurances
thereon to my son, Henry A. Graham, Jr., or, if he does not survive
me, to my issue who survive me, to be divided between or among them as
they may agree, my Executor to represent any minor children in such
division. In the absence of agreement, my Executor shall make such
division as it deems appropriate, having due regard for the personal
preferences of my children. My Executor may sell any such property
allocated to a minor that it deems unsuitable for such minor's use,
and may pay the proceeds to the minor or to the person maintaining
said minor or may deposit said proceeds in the minor's name in a bank
or savings institution of its choice, payable to the minor at major-
ity. My Executor may distribute any such property allocated to a
minor directly to the minor or to the person maintaining said minor.
In the event I leave a signed memorandum with my will or other valuable
papers directing distribution of specific items of tangible personal
property, I request my Executor effect distribution in accordance with
said provisions.
SECOND, I give, devise and bequeath all the rest and remainder
of my estate, real, personal and mixed, to my son, Henry A. Graham, Jr.,
or, if he does not survive me, to his issue, per stirpes.
THIRD: I name my son, Henry A. Graham, Jr. as my Executor.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand
