Note: In these old records Dr. stands for Debtor, and To also means “For” as in what the amount being charged is for
So if saying To does not sound right try saying For…. I can’t type it the way they wrote it. I have tried to keep the spelling the way it was on these documents. I have also written notes to myself about some of the accounts. I transcribed these into a Spreadsheet so the alignment here may not be great, but Is still readable. Enjoy!
