[4]"No return from the town of Florida on file." Original Election Returns.
[5]"Rejected, not being attested by the Town Clerk." Original Election Returns.
[6]"Rejected by the Committee, the votes not having been Returned in season." Original Election Returns.
[7]The votes from town of Gardner were rejected.
[8]"No returns." Original Election Returns.
[9]The votes from town of New Braintree were rejected.
