Sorry, but this item is no longer available. Please be in touch at info@rarenewspapers.com if you would like to be placed on a want list or are interested in a potential alternate issue.
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Oct. 16, 1793  A terrific issue, as over a full column on page 3 is taken up with the: "Interment of his Late Excellency the Governor of this Commonwealth", being John Hancock. There is much detail on the funeral, wit the report including the order of the funeral procession, with an engraving of the coffin with the names of the pall bearers noted to it's sides (see). This report is black-bordered at the top and bottom.
Terrific to have this report in a Boston newspaper, the town he is from and the city where he died. Four pages, nice condition.
