[JEFFERSON AND ADAMS.] The Massachusetts Spy and Worcester County Advertiser, 12 July 1826. An issue containing an account of the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. ''It becomes our duty this day to announce the death of two of the greatest men of our country, accompanied by the most remarkable coincidence of circumstances attending any event, perhaps that ever was placed upon record. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson are no more''on the Anniversary of the most memorable act in the history of their lives and country, and, what is more remarkable, precisely at the close of half a century, on the day which was celebrated as the Jubilee of the nation, they both ended their eventful lives, and now sleep with their fathers. Wonderful coincidence! In view of it, the mind is lost in the depth of its own reflections, and is involuntarily led to exclaim, can it be the work of chance, or is it not rather the direction of a superintending Providence?''
