German E. Ellsworth · 1905 October General Conference · 1905-10-08
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Sixth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1905), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1905sa). OCR corrected by hand (running heads and line-break hyphenation removed, paragraphing restored, obvious OCR errors corrected). Not yet proofread line-by-line against page images. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml). QC scan-tiebreak 2026-07-19: 1 escalated site collated against conferencereport1905sa leaf n55 (page 53); printed text hyphenates the compound number at a line-wrap, 'twenty-/four years of age' -- repaired vault 'twentyfour' (a run-together mis-join, itself already differing from the witness's own 'twenty four' two-word misreading) to 'twenty-four'. Not a full collation. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1905sa); removed a leaked trailing hymn-solo credit from the end, after the genuine closing 'Amen'. Confirmed date/session/talk_order correct. 0 QC ERRORs. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
