ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, March 12, 1880
* Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana
* Flax Mill explosion fire disaster
This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 4 has an article headed: "SLAIN IN A SECOND" "The Flax Mill at Frankfort, Ind., Destroyed" "Ten Persons Torn Into Ten Thousand Pieces" (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, a little irregular along the spine, very nice condition.
