(It is not possible to determine precisely what these titles mean.) The information included in these accounts is as follows: date, name of organization or agency (e.g. Matteawan State Hospital, Onondaga County and other village names, county names, etc.), amount (probably received), and remarks (these include such notes as tax, repairs, common school fund).
