What the source supports
That J. Ed. Ogden, treasurer of the Corporation of Berryville in 1923, appeared in the Clarke Courier in 1923 and 1924.
Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The 1924 notice names neither the water system nor the town, so reading its treasurer as the corporation treasurer of 1923 rests on the matching name. The figures in the report are not recorded here.
