THE NEW YORK TIMES, October 21, 1936
* Anne Sullivan Macy death (1st report)
* Teacher and companion of Helen Keller
Page 27 has one column headings that include: "MRS. MACY IS DEAD; AIDED MISS KELLER" "Teacher and Famous Blind and Deaf Pupil Associated Since They Met in 1887" and more with photo of Macy. (see) First report coverage the death of Annie Sullivan, companion of Helen Keller. Text takes up over 1 1/2 columns. My guess is that the New York Times would be one of the very few publications to report this.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
