[Transcriber's note: Although the age given for Zenith Elsworth appears to be an 8, I believe it is likely a 3. Comparing G. Cooley's handwriting with other numerals he enters, he frequently closes the 3 making it appear to be an 8. Researchers should view the original record and determine if Zenith's age is 3 or 8.]
