Joseph F. Smith · 1912 October General Conference · 1912-10-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1912sa). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
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.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this file was truncated mid-sentence at 'since January 1, 1912 :' (cut off before the actual list of names); recovered the missing missionary-necrology list and the remainder of Smith's closing address, through his closing 'Amen,' from the reconstructed reading-order text of the source OCR. Removed the following conference-closing boilerplate (anthem/benediction/adjournment/clerk credit) that is session housekeeping, not part of the address itself. Corrected a running-head bleed in the speaker's own name ('PRESIDENT JOSEPH P. SMITH.' -> not part of body, removed) and confirmed no other bleeds remain. 0 QC ERRORs.
