Note: this book is typewritten all caps, but I have decided not to
transcribe the publication in this manner. Beware that this is no
longer a "primary source" as this will be it’s 3rd (or more)
transcription from the original. The first transcription being what was
transcribed from the original will into the court records (no copier’s
or scanners back then!).
