Historical Articles from Larry Ruickbie Innerleithen
I have truncated almost all
entries by not typing "This Day" at the start or “was interred" at the
end each line.
Anything
in quotation marks or with a "?" was my best guess.
I do know
that some is miss-spelled, but I strived to make it represent that written
in the documents…………..
