    Description

    Up for auction is an Original Historic Newspaper Headlining the News of the Death of President Roosevelt and the Swearing In of President Truman.

This is a complete 8-page paper.  It is filled with information and stories surrounding Roosevelt's life and also the latest news of the war and sports.
