I, TRUDY CHRISTENA MERRITT, of Thayne, County of Lincoln, State of

but mindful of the uncertainties of life, hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will
and Testament, hereby revoking all previous wills and codicils heretofore made by me.

furnishings and fixtures, chinaware, silver, photographs, works of art, books, boats, automobiles,
all artifacts relating to my hobbies, and all other articles of household or personal use) that I list
on a written, signed, and dated memorandum that may be left by me, in accordance the
distributions specified therein. Should I leave multiple written memorandums which conflict as
to the disposition of any item of my tangible personal property, then that memorandum which is
dated last shall control as to any items which may be in conflict.
THIRD: All of the remainder of my estate, be it real, personal or mixed property,
wherever situate, I give, devise, and bequeath to my daughter, DANYELLE ROBERTS, of Etna,

as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament and I direct that the said Executor shall not be
required to give any bond or other surety in connection with qualifying or acting in this capacity.
In the event that she fails to survive me, or if she is unable or unwilling to serve, then I nominate,
constitute and appoint my son -in -law, JOHN C. ROBERTS, as Executor of this my Last Will
and Testament and I direct that the said Executor shall not be required to give any bond or other
surety in connection with qualifying or acting in this capacity.
