Transcription Notes:
It is completed, and I think good to mark as complete.
Please fill in answers. Per SI staff, these reports are not to be transcribed as tables.
Unsure on answers for "Who owns the School-building?" (Updated this to Colored Masons)
Unsure of the number for "Number who spell, and read easy lessons?" Left it as 32 but it looks like 82 - 32 seems more likely.
