On this day in history, April 15, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln passes away

President Abraham Lincoln died in Washington, D.C., on this day in history, April 15, 1865, one day after he was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth.

Lincoln, who was elected president in 1860, was the first U.S. president to be assassinated.

He was survived by his wife, Mary Todd, whom he married in 1842, and his sons Robert and Tad. 

The president was shot while he was attending a performance of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in D.C.

During one of the funniest lines of the play, Booth entered the presidential box — and fired a shot into the president's head, according to the Ford's Theatre website............

He passed away nine hours after being shot -- it's a 'quirky' headline.

 :laugh:  I had forgotten that April 15 is also tax day. I did our taxes early and forgot about the date.

So we have taxes, the sinking of the Titanic, Lincoln's assassination, Boston Marathon bombing, Notre Dame caught fire ....  Nope, not a lucky date at all.
