July 31, 1875
BETHLEHEM DAILY TIMES, Pennsylvania, July 31, 1875 

* President Andrew Johnson death 
* Early same day report
 

Page 2 has a very brief item headed: "Death of Andrew Johnson" which is datelined "July 31" & reads: "Ex-President Andrew Johnson died very suddenly at Chattanooga, Tenn., at 2:30 o'clock this morning of paralysis." This is immediately followed by a lengthier report headed: "Obituary - Andrew Johnson" which takes over half a column (see).

This is a same day report, rarely found as such. Four pages, minor loss to an upper corner, nice condition.
