I, ADA B. KONHAUS, of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and

Testament, hereby revoking any and all former Wills or Codicils made by me.

I direct that all my legally enforceable debts, funeral expenses, testamentary expenses and
all inheritance taxes (whether such taxes may be payable by my estate or by any recipient of any
property) shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable after my decease and as part
of the administration of my estate. My Executrix shall have no duty or obligation to obtain
reimbursement for any such tax so paid, even though on proceeds of insurance or other property not
passing under this Will.
2.
I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate, both real and personal property, in the following
manner:
a. One-half (1/2) thereof unto my daughter, GAIL K. WALTER;

c. One-sixth (1/6) thereof unto my grandson, CHRISTOPHER MARTIN; and
d. One-sixth (1/6) thereof unto my granddaughter, MARIA MARTIN.
In the event any of such beneficiaries shall predecease me, I give his or her share to his or her
issue, per stirpes, and in default of such living issue, such share shall be distributed pro rata to the
surviving persons named herein.
3.
I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, GAIL K. WALTER, as Executrix of my,
4.
estate.
