At the age of 22, he once again tried to himself but the same monk appeared on the spot and stopped him to do so. Due to his radical political activities, the Austrian government sentenced him to death but again he was survived by the same monk. Finally, at age of 68, he committed suicide by his personal pistol. Shockingly, the very same monk conducted his funeral ceremony.

- Lincoln failed to win the Vice Presidential nomination in 1856. Kennedy failed to win the Vice Presidential nomination in 1956
- Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
- Lincoln defeated Stephen Douglas who was born in 1813. Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon who was born in 1913.
- Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost children while in the White House.
- Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head.
- Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
- Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners.
- Both Presidents had Vice Presidents named Johnson. Lincoln's Vice President was called Andrew Johnson who served in the House of Representatives in 1847.
- Kennedy's Vice President was called Lyndon Johnson who served in the House of Representatives in1947.
- Both successors (their Vice Presidents) were named Johnson.
- Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
- Both assassins were known by the three names.
- Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
- Lincoln was shot at the theatre called "Ford". Kennedy was shot in a car named "Lincoln", made by Ford.
- 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.
Apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination that he had been killed.
He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket.
Also, Lincoln's son Tad had a pet turkey named Jack. Tad asked his father not to kill the turkey for Thanksgiving.
Although Harry S Truman started the official tradition, Lincoln was the first to "pardon" a Thanksgiving turkey.
Now what would be real interesting is if Kennedy had a pet named Abe or had pardoned someone by that name. Thus far, I haven't heard of that. Skeptics disagree
Some skeptics say that you could take any two famous people and find a number of similar-type coincidences between them.
The only problem with that theory is that there really haven't been any listings of such comparisons.
And certainly none has been as extensive as the Lincoln-Kennedy similarities.
Summary:
Facts concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are amazingly similar. It is uncertain if such coincidences have any meaning, but they certainly are strange.
