OF

(, ,
'v
1. I direct that all of my estate, of whatever nature and wherever situate, be divided
into three equal shares, after payment of all my just debts, transfer taxes and expenses of
administration, and I give, bequeath and devise one such equal share to my daughter, MARY
GA Y WELLINGTON GEIGEL, of Aurora, Ohio, or her issue, per stirpes, and I give, bequeath
and devise one such equal share to my son, CHARLES H. WELUNGTON, New Cumberland,
Pennsylvania, or his issue, per stirpes, and I give, bequeath and devise One such equal share
unto my trustee, hereinafter named, in trust nevertheless, for my son JOHN STANLEY
WELLINGTON, JR., of Meadville, Pennsylvania, under and subject nevertheless to terms of
said trust hereinafter stated.
2. If my daughter, MARY GAY WELLINGTON GEIGEL, shall predecease me,
without issue, then I give, bequeath and devise her share of my estate to JOHN STANLEY
WELLINGTON, JR., in trust nevertheless subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth in Paragraph 3, and to my son, CHARLES H. WELLINGTON, or his issue, or to the
survivor of them. If CHARLES H. WELLINGTON predeceases me without issue, I give,
bequeath and devise his share of my estate to my daughter, MARY GAY WELLINGTON
GErGEL, or her issue.
3. During the lifetime of my son, JOHN STANLEY WELLINGTON, JR., my
trustee shall hold the corpus of the trust hereby created for the sole and exclusive benefit of said
beneficiary, and shall pay to him at least as often as quarterly the income realized from said
trust. Further, the trustee, may, in its sole discretion, distribute, from time to time, such
amounts of the principal of said trust as the trustee may determine shall be necessary for the
reasonable educational expenses of said beneficiary's children, without regard for strict equality
of shares of principal so paid, but with due consideration for any and all other sources of income
and estate available to each child. Upon the death of said beneficiary, the trust shall terminate,
and trustee shall distribute any remaining undistributed income and all of said principal to the
issue of JOHN STANLEY WELLINGTON, JR., per stirpes, or if all of the issue taking are of
the same class, then such distribution shall be per capita. Should the said beneficiary die without
issue, the entire proceeds of said trust shall be distributed equally between MARY GAY

issue, per stirpes, except that if either of said alternate distributees shall have predeceased the
original beneficiary, and without issue, his or her share shall be distributed to the surviving
alternate distributee, or his or her issue, per stirpes. If neither of said alternate distributees, or
their issue, survive the aforesaid beneficiary, then the entire proceeds of said trust shall be
distributed to my intestate heirs.
4. No interest of any beneficiary hereunder shall be subject to anticipation, pledge,
assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have power in any manner
to charge or encumber his interest, nor shall the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject
in any manner while in the possession of my fiduciaries for any liability of such beneficiary,
whether such liability arises from his debts, contracts, torts, or other engagements of any type.
2
5. Any amounts or assets which are payable or distributable to a minor or
incompetent hereunder may, at the discretion of my fiduciaries, be paid or distributed to the
parent or guardian of such minor or incompetent, to the person with whom such minor or
incompetent resides, or directly to such minor or incompetent, or may be applied for the use or
benefit of such minor or incompetent.
6. In addition to such other powers and duties as may be granted elsewhere herein
or which may be granted by law, my fiduciaries hereunder shall have the following powers and
duties, without the necessity of notice to or consent of any court:
(a) To sell, convey, exchange, partition, give options to buy or lease
upon, or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, at any time held by
them, at public or private sale or otherwise, for cash or other consideration or on
credit, and upon such terms and for such price as they may determine.
(b) To distribute any of my property in kind, so long as all
beneficiaries are agreeable to such distribution.
(c) To employ such brokers, banks, custodians, investment counsel,
attorneys, and other agents, and to delegate to them such duties, rights and
powers as they may determine, and for such periods as they think fit.
7. I direct that all estate, inheritance, and succession taxes that may be assessed in
consequence of my death, of whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction imposed, shall be
paid out of the principal of my general estate to the same effect as if said taxes were expenses
of administration.
8. All references to gender herein shall include the opposite gender.
3
9, I appoint The Mellon Bank, Meadville Branch, or its successor banking
institution, of Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, as the Trustee of the Trust hereby
created, and I appoint CHARLES H. WELLINGTON and MARY GAY WELLINGTON
GEIGEL, or the survivor of them, as the Executors of this Will. Should both of said persons
be unable to serve or continue to serve, I appoint in their place and stead as the Executor the
said Mellon Bank. Further, I appoint The Mellon Bank as the guardian of the estate of any
minor children taking hereunder. I direct that no fiduciary acting hereunder shall be required
to post security for the faithful performance of such duties.
