Citations fixed

I spent about an hour today fixing citations on this page.

It is not a good idea to name recurring citations in format ":0" ":1" for several reasons

(a) too confusing for editor - several were found to be incorrect

(b) too confusing for future editors

(c) interferes with date format and coding

Please instead use a more reader-friendly method such as "Carlson87" or "Jones22" instead.

There is a conflict of interest citation which I have marked "citation needed" - one cannot site the actual Fern Cottage speaking about itself. An outside citation is needed for this information.

Roman Numerals in citations are not advised. I have changed them to regular integers wherever possible.
