Since October 15, 1894, The Item has served the Sumter and surrounding communities. Throughout 2019, we are celebrating our 125th anniversary by re-printing a variety of historic covers. In this vintage edition, we remember President George H.W. Bush’s visit to Sumter on this national day of mourning honoring his life. The 41st president died on Friday.
