ElRay L. Christiansen · 1960 April General Conference · 1960-04-03
OCR ingestion with auto-cleaning and paragraph reflowing, followed by a heavyweight page-by-page collation against the Internet Archive conferencereport1960a scan (leaves n48-n50). Boundaries, wording, and metadata verified against the primary source; archive snapshot of source_url still pending.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, running-header/page-number artifact removal, and OCR typo/spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against the Internet Archive conferencereport1960a OCR (source verified, page-by-page collation done). Confirmed talk boundaries (follows Elder Antoine R. Ivins and precedes Elder Alma Sonne in the Sunday, April 3 (Second Day) Morning Meeting, page 47-50/leaf n48-n50). Corrected date from placeholder 1960-04-01 to the exact date 1960-04-03, added session: Second Day Morning Meeting and talk_order: 2 (after Ivins). Corrected calling_at_time to the source's exact wording, 'Assistant to the Council of the Twelve Apostles' (this speaker was correctly identified by name/id already; note the OCR itself renders 'Elray' as 'EIRay' throughout due to scan ligature confusion, which the existing file already correctly normalized). Supplied a descriptive title from the talk's subject (temple/genealogical work for the dead). No wording changes beyond cursor-agent's existing lightweight cleanup were needed; body text checked line-by-line against the scan and matches, including the D&C 2, D&C 110, and Wilford Woodruff quotations.
