Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The exact rendered source heading “Benjamin F Stewart” is preserved separately from the canonical display form “Benjamin F. Stewart.”. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
