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

The current reference profile expands or corrects the inherited name from James M. Hill to James Madison Hill. The current profile records later/highest rank Commissary Sergeant. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
