NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., July 13, 1850
* President Zachary Taylor death - funeral
* From our nation's capital
The front page begins with: "The General Grief" on the death of President Taylor. Related reports take two columns.
Much of page 3 is taken up with related reports including; "The Arrangements Fo the Funeral of the Late President" "Civic Procession" showing the position of the pall bearers and the: "Funeral Car, with the Corpse". Plus the: "Proclamation by the Mayor, and the "Military Orders" "Official Notices" and: "The Feeling of the Country".
Great to have this report in a newspaper from the nation's capital, where he died.
All columns on all four pages are bordered in black mourning rules. Very nice condition.
