Inside page, full column report of the ceremony by the MASONIC LODGE of Boston, MASSACHUSETTS to mourn the death of GEORGE WASHINGTON on dec 14, 1799. One of the mourners named in the report is PAUL REVERE (of Revolutionary War "midnight ride" fame). The Connecticut Courant began as a weekly on October 29 , 1764 .
