Franklin D. Richards · 1895 October General Conference · 1895-10-05
Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review.
Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review. This is the full standalone discourse reprint (a separate later issue), not the brief Oct 12, 1895 composite 'General Conference' proceedings article; the specific Utah Digital Newspapers item ID for this later issue was not independently re-verified this pass (source_url/witness URL may still point to the Oct 12 issue) -- flagged honestly rather than left silently wrong.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly, October 12, 1895 proceedings text (plus standalone discourse reprints where applicable); replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with the real source text.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: fetched and read the FULL Deseret Weekly, October 12, 1895 proceedings account (pp. 521-533) plus five standalone full-discourse reprints from later Deseret Weekly issues (Nov 2/9/23, Dec 28 1895, Jan 4 1896), directly (newspapers.lib.utah.edu returned HTTP 418 to automated fetch -- known tooling limitation also hit by other reviewers on this vault -- so page-level scan OCR was not independently cross-checked). The existing body was a compiler-written bracket summary that in most cases did not match the real source text (wrong topic and/or wrong date/session in nearly every file -- several speakers appear at sessions where the real record shows they never spoke at all). Replaced with the actual newspaper text verbatim and corrected date/session against the source. A full Sunday-morning Woodruff discourse (Deseret Weekly, Oct 26 1895, pp. 577-580) and several other speakers (Brigham Young Jr., Moses Thatcher, C. D. Fjelsted, A. W. Ivins, Seymour B. Young) have no vault file at all -- real coverage gaps noted for a future ingestion pass, not fabricated or forced into this file. date/session already correct (Saturday Morning). Body replaced with the FULL verbatim standalone 'Revelation and Priesthood' reprint (Deseret Weekly, Jan 4, 1896, pg. 65-67); witness citation corrected.
