LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
GRACE N. STEIGLEMAN
I, Grace N. Steigleman, of the Borough of Carlisle,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will
and Testament and revoke all Wills and Codicils previously made
by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all my legally enforceable debts and
funeral expenses, including all expenses of my last illness,
shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable
after my decease as a part of the expense of the administration
of my estate.
ITEM II: I bequeath any automobiles or motor vehicles I may
own at my death, my personal effects, household goods, and other
tangible personal property of like nature (not including cash or
securities), together with any existing insurance thereon, to
such of my children as are living on the thirty-first day after
my death, to be divided among them with due regard for their
personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical. I
direct that any of the foregoing articles not selected by such
children shall be sold at public or private sale by my personal
representative(s), and I further direct that the net proceeds
thereof shall be administered and distributed as a part of the
residue of my estate.
ITEM III: I devise and bequeath the residue of my estate of
every nature and wherever situate in equal shares to my children,
provided that the share of any child who predeceases me or dies
on or before the thirtieth day following my death shall be

either under this Will or otherwise, to a minor and with respect
to which I am authorized to appoint a guardian and have not
otherwise specifically done so, provided that this appointment of
a guardian shall not supersede the right of any fiduciary in its
discretion to distribute a share where possible to the minor or
to another for the minor's benefit. Such guardian shall have the
power to use principal, as well as income, from time to time for
the minor's support, health and medical care, and education
(including college education), or to make payment for these
purposes, without further obligation or responsibility to see to
the proper expenditure thereof, directly to the minor or to the
minor's parent or to any person taking care of the minor.
ITEM V: All Federal, State and other death taxes payable
because of my death, with respect to the property forming my
gross estate for tax purposes, whether passing under this will or
otherwise, including any interest or penalty imposed in
connection with such taxes, shall be considered a part of the
expense of the administration of my estate and shall be paid out
of the principal of my residuary estate without apportionment or
right of reimbursement.

Executor of this my last will. Should my said son fail to
qualify or cease to act as Executor, I appoint my other son,
Thomas W. Steigleman, Executor of this my last will. Should my
said other son fail to qualify or cease to act as Executor, I
appoint my daughter, Sandra J. Hoffman, Executrix of this my last
Will. Should my said daughter fail to qualify or cease to act as
