Lincoln & Kennedy

Abraham Lincoln was elected to congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White
House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both were shot in the head.

Here is an interesting one...

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by southerners.

Both were succeeded by southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born
in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born
in 1939.

Both assassins were known by three names.

Both names contain fifteen letters.

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.

Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And last but not least...

A week before Lincoln was shot; he was in Monroe, Maryland.

A week before Kennedy was shot; he was in Marilyn Monroe.

I always thought it was an interesting (if unfortunate) coincidence that all the presidents since William Harrison in 1840 who were elected in a "zero" year (1840, 1860, 1880, 1900. 1920. 1940. 1960. 1980) were all either shot and/or died while occupying the office of the presidency.

1840 (1841): Harrison dies of pneumonia
1860 (1865): Lincoln assassinated
1880 (1881): Garfield assassinated
1900 (1901): McKinley assassinated
1920 (1923): Harding dies of food poisoning
1940 (1945): Roosevelt dies of illness
1960 (1963): Kennedy assassinated
1980 (1981): Reagan shot
