Today's Amanuensis Monday project is to transcribe the Notice of Probate Hearing on the estate of Inger T. Emerson who died intestate; without a will. Inger was born on 26 November 1836 and passed away on 27 May 1918. She was one of my late cousin Ed's great-grandmothers; his mother's father's mother.
This is a newspaper notice, the first of four, being published to advise the general public on Inger's death and upcoming Probate Hearing.

Amanuensis Monday is a weekly blog theme that was started by John Newmark, the author of TransylvanianDutch blog. John defines Amanuensis as, "A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another." I also appreciate the good work and format examples of San Diego genealogist Randy Seaver of the blog Genea-musings. Thanks guys.
Transcribing helps me to learn what a document contains. I have learned over time that I have a tendency to "skim" over an item; a bad trait for a researcher who needs to learn even the smallest details documented records contain. Transcribing helps me to slow down and "smell the flowers," and to capture all aspects of the paper in hand.
It was fun to share this document with you. Hope your week gets off to a good start. I look forward to our next visit here.
