GENERAL ORDERS, No. 73.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
_Washington, August 2, 1875_.
I. The following order has been received from the President of the
United States:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, July 31, 1875_.
It becomes the painful duty of the President to announce to the people
of the United States the death of Andrew Johnson, the last survivor of
his honored predecessors, which occurred in Carter County, East
Tennessee, at an early hour this morning.
The solemnity of the occasion which called him to the Presidency, with
the varied nature and length of his public services, will cause him to
be long remembered and occasion mourning for the death of a
distinguished public servant.
