THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY OR WORCESTER GAZETTE, June 19, 1799

The front page has: "On Matrimony". Page 3 has a black-bordered report on the death & funeral of Mass. Governor Increase Sumner including the "Order Of Procession" and the position of "The Corpse" with the pallbearers, etc.
The back page has a very nice recruitment ad for the military headed: "ATTENTION !

Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, some front page foxing & even toning, very nice condition.
