hereby revoking and making void all testamentary writings heretofore made

funeral be paid out of my estate as soon as may be convenient after my death,
and I direct that my remains be interred in the John and Maria L.George family
plot in Oak Springs Cemetery,Canonsburg,Pa.,wherein a lot has been pro-
vided for that purpose,and that a separate and appropriately inscribed
grave marker be placed thereon.I further direct that the W.Leonard

the preparation for and conduct of my funeral service and burial.

piano which I may own at the time of my death,unto my grand-niece,ANNE
LOUISE GEORGE,provided she shall survive me.
FIFTH:I give and bequeath all radio and television sets
which I may own at the time of my death,unto my nephew,DAVID GEORGE,
provided he shall survive me.
SIXTH:I give and bequeath my white gold Longene
watch unto ROSE ALMA YATESJ wife of my nephewJ George C.YatesJ pro-
vided she shall survive me.
SEVENTH:All the restJ residue and remainder of my
tangible personal property I give and bequeath unto my niecesJ MARY LOU
SHAW and PATRICIA GALLIE,to be divided between them as they might
amicably agree upon,or if one of them shall have predeceased me,then unto
the survivor of them J and if both of my said nieces shall have predeceased
meJ then and in such event,I direct that the same shall be sold by my here-
inafter named executor and that the proceeds thereof shall be added to and
become a part of my residuary estate to be disposed of as hereinafter set
forth.
EIGHTH:I give and bequeath unto MARGUERITE YATES
RANKINJ step-daugh:er of my sister,Carrie George Yates,the sum of
Five Thousand and no/lOOths ($5 J 000.00)DollarsJ provided she shall survive

among such of her ctildren who are living at the time of my death.
NINTH:All the restJ residue and remainder of my estateJ
real and personal,0:whatever nature and wheresoever situate,which I may
own or shall have the right to dispose of at the time of my death,I give,
devise and bequeath unto the MELLON NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY,
IN TRUST,NEVERTHELESS,for the following uses and purposes:
"A"•The Trustee shall hold,manage,invest
and reinvest said Trust Estate,and at least quarter-annually,
shall distribute the net income therefrom,in equal sharesJ unto
my sisters,CARRIE GEORGE YATES and MARY GEORGE BLACK,
for and during their natural lives,and from and after the death of
one of them,unto the survivor for and during the remainder of her
natural life.Upon the death of the survivor of my said two sisters,
·_.
I direct that this Trust shall terminate and that the Trust Estate
shall then be distributed,in equal shares,to and among such
of my following named nephews and nieces"namely:JACK
GEORGE,WILLIAM R.GEORGE,DAVID GEORGE"MARY LOU
SHAW,PATRICIA GALLIE and GEORGE CALVIN YATES"who
shall be living at the time of the termination of this Trust"as
aforesaid"and unto the children of such of my said nephews and
nieces who,at that time,shall be deceased,such children to
take,in equal shares,the share their parent would have taken
had he or she been living at the time of the termination of this
Trust,as aforesaid.
"B".If any beneficiary entitled to receive a
share of principal hereunder"shall be a minor,such share
shall not be distributed to him or her but shall be retained by
the Trustee until the beneficiary attains majority,at which time
the principal shall be paid to him or her,free of Trust.During
such minority,the Trustee shall pay so much of the income
and principal as it deems advisable for said minor's welfare,
comfort,recreation and support and education,to the person
having custody of him or her,without liability upon the part of
the Trustee to see to the application thereof..or shall use it
direct for such purpose,and shall add the remaining income to
principal to be invested as such.If such beneficiary should die
while a minor,the Trustee is authorized in its discretion,to
pay all or part of his or her funeral expenses and the remaining
principal shall be paid to the person entitled to his or her
personal estate,provided,however,that the share thus accruing
to the beneficiary of any other trust hereunder shall be added
to such other Trust.
"e".
,.~
The interest of any beneficiary hereunder
shall not be subject to anticipation or to voluntary or involuntary
alienation;and the principal and income shall be paid by the
Trustee direct to or for the use of the beneficiary entitled there-
to,without reg2.rd to any assignment,order,attachment or
claim whatsoever.
Income accruing on any property received
by the Trustee,either at the inception of the Trust,or after
an addition thereto,shall be treated as income and not as
principal.Upon the death of any beneficiary of income,any
undistributed income then held by the Trustee for such bene-
ficiary,shall be paid to the person or persons for whose benefit
the principal producing such income is continued in Trust"or
to whom it is dstributed under the terms hereof.
11 E"•In the administration of the trusts
herein created,the Trustee shall have,in addition to and not
in limitation of any authority given to it by law and without the
necessity of obtaining the consent of any court.the following
powers:To accept in distribution of my estate and to retain
investments and property which are a part of my estate;to
invest and reinvest the principal of the Trust Estate in any kind
of property,real or personal,or part interest therein,without
being restricted to investments which are legal for trust funds;
to give options for sales,leases and exchanges;to borrow
money;to sell,pledge,exchange or mortgage any real or
personal property;to compromise claims;to lease real or
personal property for terms exceeding five (5)years;to join
in or oppose the merger,consolidation,reorganization or
readjustment of the financial structure of any firm or corpora-
.'"~'..'
tion in which the Trust Estate may have an interest;to carry
securities in the name of a nominee;and to distribute the
Trust Estate either in cash or in kind.
"F".The Trustee may resign at any time
by petitioning a court of competent jurisdiction to designate
and appoint a successor corporate Trustee.In case of the
merger or consolidation of the Trustee"the resultant company
shall become successor Trustee hereunder without notice to
any party.
"G"•The Trustee shall be entitled to
receive annually compensation for its services hereunder in
accordance with its schedule of compensation currently in
effect when the services are performed,but not in excess of
such compensation as would be approved by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
TENTH:I direct that all estate,inheritance and other taxes
in the nature thereof,together with any interest and penalties thereon,becoming
payable because of my death,with respect to the property constituting my
gross estate for death tax purposes,whether or not such property passes under
this Will,shall be paid from the principal of my residuary estate passing under
Article "NINTH"hereof;and no legatee or devisee,or any person having a bene-
ficial interest in any such property,whether under this Will or any Codicil
thereto,or otherwise,shall at any time be required to refund any part of such
taxes.In the absolute discretion of my Executor,such taxes may be paid
immediately,or the payment of taxes on future or remainder interests may be
postponed until the time possession thereof accrues to the beneficiary,in which
event such taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of the principal of the Trust
subject thereto.
,.'..~,.
ELEVENTH:I appoint MELLON NATIONAL BANK AND
TRUST COMPANY,Executor of this my Will,giving and granting to my Executor,
the same broad powers of retention,sale,conversion,investment and manage-
ment of my estate,real and personal,as are granted to my Trustee under this
Will,and in addition the right to distribute my securities or other propertyJ
in kind,to my Trustee;and I direct that my said personal representative as
well as its successor,if one there be,shall not be required to give bond for
the faithful performance of its duties in any jurisdiction.It is my desire that
my Executor retain the services of HOWARD O.STEVENS,ESQ.,of Canonsburg,
Pa••as its counsel in the administration of my estate.
