WARNING! : Proofreading is not completed.
Check back to see how proofreading is coming.
This has to be proof read several times Mrs. Raber did not cross her t's so it is nearly impossible to distinguish between
names like "Nellie" and "Nettie". Also some of the Capital "T"'s and "F"s are identical.
Many abbreviates are used.
