VIRGINIA R. CHRONISTER
\
I, vrnGlNIA R. CHRONISTER, of 262 Steelstown Road, Newville,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and
understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament,
hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
I order and direct my Executor hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate
as soon after my death as is reasonably possible. However, my Executor need not
accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might
be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and
payable. If I do not own a buriai plot or a grave marker at the tilne of my death, I
authorize my ExecutorlExecutrix, in his, her or its sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot
and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to expend sums from my estate for
this purpose.

THIRD
Should my daughter predecease me or die on or before the siA1:ieth (60) day

memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my
residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal
shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each
respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal
property provided for hereunder, the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the
decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom
as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties.
