George F. Richards · 1916 April General Conference · 1916-04-07
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1916a). 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: verified verbatim against conferencereport1916a OCR via reconstructed reading order. Corrected session from 'First Day Morning Session' to 'First Day Afternoon Session', following directly from Philip H. Hurst's afternoon talk with no intervening session break. Removed two mid-word/mid-paragraph running-head artifacts ('ELDER GEORGE F. RICHARDS.' glued into 'accomplished'; 'ELDER ANTHONY IV. IVINS.', an OCR misread of 'W.', mid-paragraph). Fixed OCR letter-errors (haVe/have, Bo/to, Latterday/Latter-day). The trailing musical-number announcement is left attached (session_music_bleed), consistent with how the source itself runs it together with the preceding talk. No missing/invented text.
