Notes and Questions
Please sign in to write a note for this page
A couple of unknowns and the numbers should be double-checked.
I figured out the correct numbers by adding the columns and comparing totals.
Some reformatting needs to be done on the middle of the page. Hopefully someone more familiar with that can do it.
The line "found in Boston) | 27806.25 | Old debt fund | 1029.21". I don't think the first word is "found" but can't figure out what it is.
I think it may be found since it is a continuation of the line above so it reads in full Cemetery (including found in Boston) | 27806.25 - so includes the office in Boston and/or the Tomb under Park St. Church
Elizabeth: Why did you delete the line:
3/4 Balance to be retained by Proprietors 916.05
I did not mean to, my mouse must have slipped. Good catch!
