FITCHBURG DAILY SENTINEL, Massachusetts, Nov. 27, 1883
* Sojourner Truth death
* Negro Woman
* Woman's Activist
Near the middle of page 2 is a very brief & inconspicuous--yet very notable--report that reads: "Sojourner Truth, the colored lecturees, died at Battle Creek, Mich., Monday, aged 108 years" Her age is generally believed to have been 86 (see hyperlink). Unfortunately most reports that I have seen in other publications in the past are similar to this one, so it is what it is.
Four pages, good quality rag paper, a little spine wear, otherwise nice.
