German E. Ellsworth · 1909 October General Conference · 1909-10-03
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Eightieth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1909), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1909sa). 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 conferencereport1909sa DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to anchor source_url leaf. Fixed roughly fifteen OCR letter/spacing errors throughout (principies -> principles, Kirkhain -> Kirkham, %iorning -> morning, strugging -> struggling, b.jen -> been, th.e -> the, pnd -> and, t^e -> the, j&eir -> their, bemg -> being, leceive -> receive, woik -> work, and a couple stray punctuation marks). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Ellsworth's own remarks, ends with the genuine trailing hymn/benediction notice, kept as session record.
