Dramatic headline on the death of President Roosevelt...



Item # 682045

April 12, 1945

THE DAILY SENTINEL, Grand Junction, Colorado, April 12, 1945  

* Franklin D. Roosevelt FDR death
* Great issue for display


The screaming banner headline--in red ink--takes the top on-third of the front page: "ROOSEVELT DIES TODAY" with the subhead: "President Dies, Cerebral Hemorrhage This Afternoon at Warm Springs, Ga. Truman Notified; Cabinet Is Called" with photos of both Franklin Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman.
Presumed complete in 10 pages, very nice condition and a great display issue. And nice to have a same-day report as most newspapers reported his death in their April 13 edition.
