* Susan B. Anthony death
This is a pair of issues on the death of Susan B. Anthony. The March 12 issue has at the top of a front page column: "LIFE OF MISS ANTHONY IS ENDING" "She Probably Will Not Lat Out the Day".
And the issue of March 13 has near the bottom of page 6: "MISS ANTHONY DIED LAST NIGHT" with the details.
Each issue is complete in 8 pages, small binding holes at the blank spine, library stamps in the masthead, in very nice, clean condition.
AI notes: Susan B. Anthony, a pioneering leader of the American women's suffrage movement, died on March 13, 1906, at the age of 86 in Rochester, New York. She spent her life advocating for women's rights, especially the right to vote, and co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association with Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Though she did not live to see the 19th Amendment passed in 1920, her efforts laid the groundwork for its success. Her final public words, "Failure is impossible," became a lasting symbol of the movement. She is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester.
