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

The detailed reference profile repeatedly timed out during this verification run. The current Society recipient search established Milton Lorenzi Haney and Regimental Chaplain, while the official Army citation index independently supplied Chaplain, 55th Illinois Infantry, the July 22, 1864 Atlanta action, and the full citation. The fallback is explicitly documented; no unavailable page capture is claimed.
