Transcription Notes:
1/10 - partially transcribed 1/16 - unsure if national archive stamp needs to be transcribed more than just"[[stamp]]"; leaving as is. unsure if responses to questions need to be marked as underlined, going with yes. questions 2, 3, 4, and 8 seem to have dittos, but those might just be placeholders/omitted numbers? marked with [[?]]. hard to discern between dittos and 1s (may be individual problem.) each row has a gap in the transcription for readability, even if it gets condensed in review. partially transcribed Unclear: [[?]] Athens Limestone Co A M A & [[?]]
