Record details
Created by backfill on 2026-08-13 for material that was fetched, imported and transcribed without a source record ever being written; NOT YET COMPLETED BY HAND. Every field left empty here is empty because no held record states it: this backfill read the fetch record kept with the images, the fetch queue and, where the identifier is an archive.org item, that item's metadata API — and nothing else. Kind, evidence grade and the shortened note form are for a person. THIS KEY HOLDS THREE LEAVES OF THREE DIFFERENT ISSUES of two related Ottumwa papers, so it is not one citable issue; anything cited from it must name the issue and page. They are the Semi-Weekly Courier of 12 September 1901 p. 4 (Chronicling America sn86061214), the Tri-Weekly Courier of 8 November 1913 p. 2 (sn86061215), and the Semi-Weekly Courier of 24 April 1917 p. 8 (sn86061216). Each date is the issue's own cover date as the repository's JSON gives it. Title is left as the paper's shared name and the identifier field is left empty because one field cannot hold three; all three are named above. Two of the three leaves are the firm's own paid advertising and the third a social note supplied by the family, so nothing here is independent of its subject. Rights, verbatim from the fetch record: "Public domain; Library of Congress, National Digital Newspaper Program."
