91 Years Ago Lincoln Died From Crazed Actor's Bullet
Saturday, April 14, 1956, dawned clear and cloudless, and to most Americans it was probably a normal, uneventful day.
To most Americans in 1865, however, April 14 was not a normal, uneventful day. It was on this date that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, a few days after he had become, at last, the president of both North and South
Days Tinged With Drama
The events of the days prior to his assault and death are tinged with drama and seem unreal to us who hear them 91 years later. It was during this time that the President had a clearly prophetic dream which Ward Lamon, a friend, recorded.
Upon asking "Who is dead in the White House?" he received the answer. "The President. He was killed by an assassin!" The loud burst of grief from the crowd awoke Mr. Lincoln from his dream.
In this dream, Mr. Lincoln heard the sound of weeping. He recognized the objects and the setting as the house where he could not find the people.
While the nation waited for the surrender of Johnston's army, the last Confederate force of any importance left in the field, the stage was being set for an unexpected bit of drama which was to occur in Washington's Ford Theater where Laura Keene had scheduled a one-night presentation of "Our American Cousin" for April 14.
Transacted Routine Business
On this day, the President arrived
That evening Mr. Lincoln and his guests left for the Ford Theater in high spirits. The city of Washington had never been so brilliantly illuminated and a joyous throne filled the streets and the theater, celebrating the return of peace.
at his office early and transacted much routine business. He assembled the cabinet at 11 a.m., received visitors, signed discharge papers and amnesty pardons and consulted with his cabinet.
Miss Keene immediately left the stage and entered the box where the stricken President lay. She bathed his head and urged the crowd to be quiet and to stand back. The President was then carried to the plain four-story brick building where a tailor named Petersen conducted a lodging house.
The second scene of the last act of Miss Keene's play was in progress as John Wilkes Booth, handsome and dark with a black, silky mustache, slipped unnoticed into the President's box, fired the fatal shot and leaped to the stage, shouting, "The South is now avenged."
Booth Shoots President
Horrified citizens rushed madly about, shouting the news of the President's wounding. At 22 minutes past 7 the next morning, the word came that Mr. Lincoln was dead. Multitudes of grief-stricken Americans stood uncovered in the dizzling rain, watching, as church bells tolled and flags were lowered to half staff.

4,000 Persons See Facilities At New Dorms
About 4,000 persons attended open houses at the Carruth-O'Leary and Gertrude Sellards Pearson residence halls Sunday afternoon, J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said.
"We feel that the turnout was tremendous," Mr. Wilson said. "It was everything we anticipated."
Visitors commented at the sizes of the ovens, kettles, and cooking implements in the stainless steel kitchen.
Two hundred men live at Carruth-O'Leary and 250 women students at Gertrude Sellards Pearson. In both dormitories two students live in each room. Choice of bedspreads, curtains and other decorations are made by the occupants.
Guests included parents of students and prospective students, friends and alumni. Residents of the dormitories conducted them through the living rooms, students rooms, study halls, recreation rooms, and dining and kitchen facilities of the halls.
Mrs. J. R. Pearson for whom the women's hall was named was at Gertrude Sellards Pearson to meet visitors.
"My husband never told me his plans for this dormitory," she said. "It has been somewhat of a surprise for me, but I am very pleased with it."
Miss Betty Hembrough, head resident of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall said: "Many women who had lived at North College during their freshman year went through and said that they thought North was very nice, but that they wished they had lived in a dorm like this."
Refreshments were served at both halls.
FAIRY GODMOTHER—(From left) Mrs. John R. Pearson—or Gertrude Sellars Pearson—chats with Janice Johnson, Hutchinson junior; Miss Norma Lou Falletta, dieitian at Watkins Hospital, and the Rev. Andrew Berry, University Episcopal chaplain, Mrs. Pearson's late husband donated the hall, named for her.
