Priest who administered the Last Rites

Souvenir typescript entitled “President Kennedy’s Final Hours,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in black ink, “Oscar L. Huber, C. M.” In part: “He was covered with a sheet that I removed from his forehead before administering conditionally the Last Rites of the Catholic Church. These rights are administered conditionally when a priest has no way of knowing the person’s mind or whether the soul has yet left the body…Yes it was evident—the President was dead.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner. Accompanied by an unsigned postcard photo of Huber. RR Auction COA.
