January 25, 1893
THE ALLENTOWN DEMOCRAT, Penna., Jan. 25, 1893
* President Rutherford B. Hayes death
The top of the first column on pg. 2 contains a report headed: "Death of Rutherford B. Hayes" which begins: "Rutherford B. Hayes died at Fremont, Ohio, on Tuesday night of last week, aged about 70 years..." with more (see photos). The balance of this four-page newspaper is taken up with other news reports of the day and a great wealth of ads, many of which are illustrated.
Four pages, large folio size, various tears at the margins (mostly at the spine), a slight mid-fold, some light browning, minor archival mends to small edge-tears, but overall good. The folder size select is for the issue folded at the mid-fold.
AI notes: Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States, died on January 17, 1893, at his home in Fremont, Ohio. After leaving the presidency in 1881, Hayes lived a relatively quiet life, focusing on writing, advocating for educational reform, and supporting civil service reform. In his later years, he suffered from various health issues, including heart problems. His death marked the passing of a post-Civil War president who had overseen the end of Reconstruction and had been remembered for his efforts to reconcile the North and South. Hayes was buried at Fremont Cemetery in Ohio, alongside his wife, Lucy Webb Hayes.
