Another interesting fact. After being fatally shot, he was laid unconscious, on a bed in the nearby house of Williams Peterson at 453 10th Street. There, in a room rented to William Clark, a boarder, Abraham Lincoln died at 7:22 a.m., April 15, 1865. The President was surrounded by his family, members of the Cabinet, excluding Seward, who had been seriously stabbed in an assassination attempt the same night), officers, and physicians. When Lincoln died, his Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton is reported to have uttered the famous remark, "Now he belongs to the ages." How true and prophetic those words would be.
