On even numbered pages the heading of
one column was printed as "County" but that was repeatedly corrected
with an "r“ insert to read "Country" through 1883. Thereafter
it was still understood as "Country" even without
the penned "r." Entries were mostly "U.S."
But by March of 1895 (Page 58), the column heading came to be understood
as printed -- County -- with "Essex" entries dominating. Did
close-ness to Canada factor into that “r” insert?
