Using the Index

The following conventions are used for entries within the index:

• Entries appear in the following format: volume number(issue number): page numbers
• A range of inclusive pages is indicated by a hyphen ( - ) between the page numbers
• “Skips” are indicated by a comma ( , ) between page numbers
• References to multiple volumes within a single entry are separated by a semi-colon ( ; )
• A bold number indicates that an illustration of the subject appears on that page. Textual references to the subject may or not also be found on that page

These conventions may be seen in the illustration below:

Jackson, Lily Irene, 8(3): 5, 8-11, 13; 10(3): 14

In the example, references to Lily Irene Jackson are said to appear on pages 5, 8 though 11 and 13 in volume 8, number 3; and a photo appears on page 14 of volume 10, number 3.

Further considerations:

• The index assumes that users already know something about the name for which they are searching and attempts to correct misspellings or variants which appear in the original publication, consolidating them under a single standard entry (but only when it could be confidently concluded that these variations referred to a single individual). For example, references to “H. B. Marshall,” “H. Britton Marshall” and “Henry Britain Marshall” are all entered under “Marshall, Henry Britton” in the index. (It is still a good idea, however, to search under variant spellings.) This might cause some confusion, as the name appearing in the index might not actually appear on the referenced page. For example, the user finding an index entry for “Jackson, Thomas Jefferson,” upon going to the referenced page might see “T. J. Jackson,” “Tom Jackson,” or even “Uncle Jeff.” Again, I have made every effort to use the most generally accepted correct and complete form of a person’s name.
• Likewise, an attempt has been made to consolidate index entries for women under either their maiden or married names and to avoid using both, despite which version of the name appears in the actual article. It is best for the user to search under both names, however.
• In cases where more than one person has the same name, I have tried to distinguish among them by adding birth years or other data after names. Thus, there are entries for “Jackson, Henry J. (b.1813)” and “Jackson, Henry J. (b.1865),” etc. When more than one person shared a common name and I could not distinguish among them, the entries have been consolidated. So, while there are entries for a number of John Jacksons, separated by birth date, there is also a single catch-all entry for all those which could not be conclusively matched with others of that name.
• Article authors are included in the index.
• For the most part, historical figures (e.g., kings, presidents) are not indexed, except when their actions directly affected the Jackson-Cummins family.
• Names of families, schools, churches and cemeteries are indexed where noteworthy; otherwise, only individuals, not topical subjects, are indexed.
• In some of the early issues, the cover was not counted in pagination. These covers are designated as “C” in the index. An entry for 4(2): C is for the cover of volume 4, number 2.

• Likewise, at least one issue contains an unnumbered introductory page. Such pages have been given designations such as “i,” “ii,” etc.

• Of the thousands of entries contained in this index, there are doubtlessly a number that contain errors. I hope these will be brought to my attention if/when they are discovered.
