I have a copy of a newspaper page with an item regarding Colonel Downing, who was a political delegate from Florida. It was published in the Adams Sentinel - (Gettysburg, PA) Nov. 8, 1841. Column 2 mentions the death of Col. Downing on Oct. 24, 1841, in St. Augustine, Florida, due to a sickness which was prevalent at the time. (No first name mentioned) Feel free to email me with a request for a copy, which will be sent as a file. When requesting a copy: please use the EXACT subject line of this post in the request.
