Page 3 has an article headed: "Death of Daniel Webster" which begins: "The death of this eminent citizen, which took place on Sunday morning last, will occasion a profound sensation throughout our own country and the world. He died at an advanced age--in the 71st year of his life--and in the full possession of his faculties...". The article takes over a full column. Page 3 has: "Honors to Mr. Webster".
Great to have this report of the death of this famed politician in a newspaper from the nation's capital.
Four pages, very nice condition.
