Andrew Jenson · 1916 October General Conference · 1916-10-08
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1916sa). 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: reconstructed true reading order via scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py. Two defects found and fixed: (1) the talk's true opening two sentences ('Fifty years ago, today, there arrived in this city, from the mouth of Parley's Canyon, a company of "Mormon" immigrants... It was the year 1866, the last year that our brethren and sisters... crossed the plains and mountains all the way from the Missouri river to these valleys with teams.') had been dropped entirely from the original ingest, leaving the file starting mid-sentence at 'loaded with Latter-day Saints'; restored verbatim from the OCR. (2) The file had a full duplicate of Elder C. Alvin Orme's entire address wrongly appended after Jenson's own 'Amen,' along with a stray fragment of a hymn title ('O God, for a prophet.') and the 'Second Meeting Out-doors' session-open record; all removed, since Orme's talk is correctly ingested on its own as 1916-10-35b-c-alvin-orme-remarks.md. Restored full printed title from the synopsis-less opening (this talk has no dash-synopsis in print). No wording invented.
