Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. The President and Mrs. Lincoln were watching a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC on April 14, 1865 when he was shot by Booth. President Lincoln was taken across the street to the Pederson House where he died the following day.
The only relationship they had was as shooter and target.

The other guests in the Presidential box recognized him, the stagehand holding his horse outside knew him. (NEW RESPONDENT) I don't understand this answer.
