April 15, 1865: "Now he belongs to the ages"
On Friday, April 14th, President and Mrs. Lincoln, accompanied by Clara Harris and Maj. Henry R. Rathbone, entered Ford’s Theatre for the performance of “Our American Cousin” featuring Laura Keene. It was a popular comedy of its time. By all accounts, the President was in good spirits and ready for a night of relaxation.
Otto Eisenschiml wrote that the shots were fired at around 10:15 pm. (In the Shadow of Lincoln’s Death (New York: Funk, 1940).
Shortly after, the President was moved across the street to William Petersen's home. He was placed in a small room at the rear of hall on the first floor.
Mrs. Lincoln and the surgeons stayed with the President all night. VP Johnson dropped in for a visit around 2 am.
Dr. Charles S. Taft observed that the President stopped breathing “at 7:21 and 55 seconds in the morning of April 15th, and 7:22 and 10 seconds his pulse ceased to beat.” (Eisenschiml)
After some silence, Secretary Stanton said: “Now he belongs to the ages“.

Happy Tax Day
We get to celebrate another Tax Day in the U.S. Our return was submitted a week ago, so I won't be rushing to the post office today.
Once again, I will remember that we need tax reform. We need to throw out the current tax code and replace it with a national sales tax or something that requires everybody to pay taxes.
In other words, the U.S. should be more like Texas or other states where the tax code actually helps the economy.
No income taxes and I'm marching with the spirit of George Harrison today.
"Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me."
