Joseph W. McMurrin · 1909 April General Conference · 1909-04-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Ninth Annual Conference (April 1909), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1909a). 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.
Heavyweight pass: anchored source_url leaf; extensive OCR letter-error cleanup.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1909a DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to anchor source_url leaf. Fixed roughly two dozen OCR letter errors throughout this heavily garbled scan (purooses -> purposes, l-ifom -> labors, cfoctrines -> doctrines, hSm -> him, wHth -> with, GosoeVto -> Gospel to, respector -> respecter, Cod -> God, Prr^het -> Prophet, frund -> found, Toseph -> Joseph, s^ved/hantism -> saved/baptism, infjants -> infants, contime -> continue, pro clamation -> proclamation, and numerous stray letters/punctuation). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with McMurrin's own remarks (session-opening record for this Sunday Afternoon Overflow Session already captured in the preceding bassett-report-fremont-stake.md file), ends at his own Amen; a trailing musical-number notice was kept as genuine session record.
