How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.

Keep in mind: Confirmed as printed. No 1918 item read says the money bought hospital beds, so the Handbook of Texas hospital-beds sentence is not confirmed as worded. The identification of "Mrs. Winchester Kelso" with May Joyce Kelso is Likely: the papers print no first name or Sr. here. Page number corrected 5 Oct 2026: the printed page heading reads p. 6; the viewer page was p. 3.
