I, SARA TEASDALE FILSINGER, of the City of New York, make this my last will and testament, intending hereby to dispose of all the estate, real and personal, of which I shall be seized or possessed or in any manner entitled to dispose of at the time of my death, and to execute every power possessed by me under any last will and testament or otherwise.

**FIRST:** I hereby revoke all wills and codicils by me at any time heretofore made.

**SECOND:** I direct my executor hereinafter named to pay as promptly as possible all my debts and funeral expenses.

**THIRD:** I direct that my body shall be cremated and that the ashes shall be buried in the Teasdale family lot in Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri, if there is room for them there. If there is not room for them there, I direct that they shall be buried in the Quaker Cemetery in Brooklyn. I direct that a small stone marker bearing upon it only my name and the dates of my birth and death shall be erected over my ashes.

**FOURTH:** I direct that no poems or verses of mine which remain unpublished at the time of my death shall be published after my death unless my written sanction for such publication appears thereon.

**FIFTH:** I give and bequeath my platinum pin set with one diamond and my diamond and onyx dinner ring to my

-1-

sister, Mamie Teasdale Wheless, if she is living at the time of my death. If she is not living at that time, I give the same to my friend, Margaret Cornelia Conklin.

**SIXTH:** I give and bequeath to my friend, Margaret Cornelia Conklin, all of my jewelry other than my platinum pin set with one diamond and my diamond and onyx dinner ring, and also all of my silver, china, linen, household furniture and furnishings and personal wearing apparel and also all of my personal letters, if she is living at the time of my death. If she is not living at that time, I give the same to my sister, Mamie Teasdale Wheless.

**SEVENTH:** I give and bequeath to Wellesley College, situated in Wellesley, Massachusetts, such of my books to the number of not more than one hundred as the said college shall select. All others of my books I give and bequeath to my friend, Margaret Cornelia Conklin, if she is living at the time of my death, and if she is not then living, to my sister, Mamie Teasdale Wheless.

**EIGHTH:** All real estate and interest in real estate in the State of Missouri which I may own at the time of my death, I devise and bequeath in equal parts per stirpes to my following named nephews and niece and their issue, to-wit: Willard W. Teasdale, John Warren Teasdale, Kenneth Teasdale, Frances Margaret Teasdale, David G. Teasdale and Rudolph S. Teasdale.

**NINTH:** All other property, both real and personal, of every kind and description, that I may own or be entitled to or have power to dispose of at the time of my death.

-2-

death, I give, devise and bequeath to my trustee herein-
after named and its successors, and vest title thereof in
them, in trust nevertheless, and for the following uses and
purposes: To hold, invest, reinvest and keep invested the
same and to collect and receive the rents, issues, income
and profits thereof, and so long as my husband, Ernst B.
Filsinger, and my friend, Margaret Cornelia Conklin, shall
live, to pay over such income quarterly to them as follows,
to-wit: Three-fifths thereof to my said husband and two-
fifths thereof to my said friend, Margaret Cornelia Conklin.
After the death of either of them all of the said income
shall be paid quarterly to the other so long as such other
shall live. Upon the death of both of them the said trust
shall terminate and my trustee shall thereupon pay over the
principal of the trust estate to Wellesley College, a cor-
poration of the State of Massachusetts, located at Wellesley,
Massachusetts, to be kept as a separate fund on the books of
the said college, the income thereof to be used in accordance
with a letter of instructions heretofore communicated by me
to Wellesley College, this bequest having been heretofore ac-
cepted by the trustees of the said college by a vote approv-
ing the conditions named in the said letter.

TENTH: I nominate and appoint The Guaranty
Trust Company of New York the executor of and trustee under
this my will and I direct that it shall not at any time be
required to give any bond or other security either as ex-
ecutor or as trustee under the laws of this or any other
state or country, any provision of law to the contrary not-
withstanding.

ELEVENTH: My executor and trustee shall have power and I hereby authorize it to deal with and manage the property in its hands as fully and freely for all purposes as if it owned the same in its own right free from all trusts.

Without in any way limiting or restricting the generality of the foregoing power and authority, but in partial enumeration only of the powers hereby vested in my executor and trustee, I provide as follows:

My executor may in its discretion retain, and the trustee and its successors in the trust herein mentioned may in their discretion receive and retain, so long as they may respectively deem wise, any of the investments in which any of my estate may be invested at the time of my death, and they shall not, nor shall any of them, be responsible for any loss which may accrue from such exercise of their discretion; and I further authorize and empower my said trustee from time to time in its discretion to invest and reinvest any of the trust funds in any investments which it may approve, notwithstanding such investments may not be of the character in which the investment of trust funds may be legally made.

My executor and trustee are further empowered to sell and convey any interest or interests in real estate left by me and not herein specifically devised, and to execute proper instruments and conveyances therefor; and likewise to lease the same from year to year, or for a term or terms of years, even though any term or any renewal therefor exceed the duration of the trust created herein.

-4-

Any sale authorized by this will or which may
be made by my executor or trustee or their successors may
be public or private, and at such time or times, and upon
such terms and conditions, as to it may seem expedient.
In the event of any sale or lease, no purchaser or lessee
shall be bound to see to the application of the purchase
money or money paid under the lease.

I further authorize and empower my executor or
the trustee and their successors, to consent to the reor-
ganization or consolidation of any corporation, or to the
sale to any other corporation or person of the property or
of the stocks, bonds or other securities of any corporation,
the stocks, bonds or other securities which are at any time
held by such executor or trustee or their successors respect-
ively, and to do any act with reference thereto necessary or
proper to enable my executor and trustee or their successors
as the case may be to obtain the benefit of any such reor-
ganization, consolidation or sale of such stocks, bonds or
other securities held by them respectively, and to exercise
in the discretion of such executor or trustee and their
successors, respectively, any option for a conversion or
additional subscriptions extended by any such corporation,
or in respect to any such stocks, bonds or other securities,
and to make such conversions and subscriptions, and to make
any necessary payments therefor, and in their discretion to
hold such new securities as investments without liability
for any loss which may arise from the exercise of such
discretion.

In the event that in the exercise of the power of

-5-

investment conferred herein, investments shall be purchased
at a premium, it shall be no part of the duty of the
trustee or its successors to create any sinking fund to
offset any depreciation in value caused by the approach of
the date of maturity or otherwise.

The trustee hereunder and its successors shall
have full power and authority from time to time to do any
act or thing which in its judgment may be necessary or
proper to render the trust estate secure, safe and productive.

I direct and declare that any dividend payable
in the stock of the corporation or association declaring or
authorizing the same, and declared or authorized hereinafter,
in respect of any stock composing, in whole or in part, the
principal of the trust herein provided for, shall be and
become in whole principal, and not income, of the said trust
and that all dividends paid in cash shall be and become
income.

TWELFTH: I direct that any and all transfer,
succession, legacy or inheritance taxes payable upon any
of the dispositions of property made by this my will or by
any codicil thereto shall be paid by my said executor and
its successor or successors and treated as part of the gen-
eral expenses of the administration of my estate.

pages, each signed by me in the margin thereof, set my hand
