About this source
This unsigned newspaper notice is evidence of contemporary reporting, not a verified account of Poe’s death. It prints “29th ult.”, calls Richmond his birthplace, and attributes the death to delirium tremens. These claims are preserved as printed and are not adopted by the archive; they require independent corroboration.
