Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The exact rendered source heading “William H Strayer” is preserved separately from the canonical display form “William H. Strayer.”. The current profile records later/highest rank Sergeant. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
