Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited record uses William M. Harris and its inherited candidate set did not contain the current William H. Harris profile. Controlled Society search recovered the current profile; matching company, date, place, and citation establish one identity. Both initial renderings and every inherited candidate remain preserved.
