Civil War. Lincoln dies from an assassinâs bullet. President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, dies from an assassinâs bullet. Shot by John Wilkes Booth at Fordâs Theater in Washington the night before, Lincoln lived for nine hours before succumbing to the severe head wound he sustained.
When Lincoln finally breathed his last at 7:22 a.m. on April 15, Mary Lincolns grief was inconsolable. Robert Todd Lincoln at 21, about the time of the assassination of his father. Robert would be the only Lincoln child to survive into adulthood, dying in 1926 at the age of 83.
