Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current reference profile expands Osgood T. Hadley to Osgood Towns Hadley, identifies Corporal as the action rank and Sergeant as the later rank, and replaces the inherited state-only location with the historical near-Pegram-House wording. The inherited identity, location, and citation remain preserved.
