I J,
I,CLARENCE F.GUTHRIE,of Washington County,Pennsyl-
vania,being of sound mind and memory do make,publish and declare
this my Last Will and Testament,hereby revoking and declaring null
and void any and all Wills and Codicils by me at any time heretofore
made.
FIRST:I direct my Executrix to pay my just debts,
the expenses of my last illness and my funeral expenses.
SECOND:I give and bequeath all my jewelry,automobile,
clothing and other purely personal effects to my wife,LOIS F.
GUTHRIE,if she survives me.In the event my wife fails to
survive me,I give and bequeath the aforesaid items to my then
living children in equal shares.
THIRD:In the event my wife,LOIS F.GUTHRIE,is
living at my death,I give,devise and bequeath to Lois F.Guthrie,
Archie B.Callender,Jr.,and Florence P.Carberry
as Trustees under that certain Revocable Life Insurance Trust Agree-
ment dated October 8,1961,and actually executed by me prior to
my signing this Will,so much of my estate as will afford my
estate the maximum allowable marital deduction under Federal
Estate Tax Laws when this share of my esta~e is considered with
any and all other property of mine passing or which has passed to
my wife under the terms of this Will or otherwise,and which other
property is included in my gross estate for Federal Estate Tax
purposes and in the marital deduction allowed my estate.My
Executrix shall exclude from this gift,which is for the benefit
of my wife,any terminable interests which would not be deductible
as part of the marital deduction allowed my estate if given to my
wife.
My Trustees shall hold this property as Fund "A"
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Revocable Life
Insurance Trust Agreement referred to above.
--------,
FOURTH:All the rest,lesidue and remainder of my
estate,of whatsoever kind and nature and wheresoever situate,of
which I shall die seized and possessed or to which at the time of
my death I may be entitled,remaining after the payment of taxes
as hereinafter provided,I give,devise and bequeath to my afore-
mentioned Trustees under that certain Revocable Life Insurance
Trust Agreement referred to in Paragraph THIRD above,to be held
by them as Fund "B"in accordance with the terms of that Agreement.
FIFTH:If for any reason the said Life Insurance
Trust Agreement is ineffective as a trust at the time the assets
of my estate are to be added to it,then the property herein given,
devised and bequeathed to my aforementioned Trustees under such
Life Insurance Trust Agreement shall be held by them in trust in
accordance with the provisions of the said Life Insurance Trust
Agreement in its form immediately prior to the execution of this
Last Will and Testament.
SIXTH:I authorize my executrix to sell any and all
real estate of which I die seized,at public or private sale,for
such prices and upon such terms and conditions as she shall deem
advisable,and to make,execute and deliver good and sufficient
deed or deeds therefor,conveying title thereto in fee simple
absolute or for any less estate to any purchaser or purchasers.
SEVENTH:I authorize my Executrix to make distribution

ance,or Estate and Succession Taxes imposed upon or with respect
to my estate or any property in which I may have an interest,in-
cluding any property not forming a part of my testamentary estate
but included in my gross estate for tax purposes,except any
property over which I have a taxable power of appointment in the
event it shall be held that I have not exercised such power of
appointment in this Will,at such times and in such manner as my
Executrix,in her sole discretion,deems advisable;and no such
taxes or any portion thereof so paid shall be collected from or
paid by any other person,persons or corporation by way of reim-
bursement,proration,apportionment or otherwise.
NINTH:I authorize my Executrix to continue to operate,
during the period of administration of my estate,any business or
business interest which I may own or in which I may have the
controlling interest at the time of my death,for so long as my
Executrix deems it advisable.My Executrix shall be entitled to
adequate and reasonable compensation for her services in connection
with the operation of any such business or business interest in
addition to the amounts usually awarded Executrix in connection
with the administration of estates.During the period of time that
my Executrix continues to operate such business or business inter-
est,I authorize her to delegate the full responsibility for the
operation and management of the business or business interest to
such person or persons as she may select.Further,my Executrix
is authorized to distribute any such business or business interest
to my Trustees in kind.In the event,however,my Executrix
deems it advisable,she is authorized to sell or liquidate to any
such business or business interest at such time or times and upon
such terms and conditions as she may deem advisable;selling such
