Yes, John F. Kennedy had a secretary named Evelyn Lincoln. However, the part being circulated about Abe Lincoln having a secretary named Kennedy is not true. It is also unknown if Lincoln's secretary, John Hay, warned him not to go to the theatre, or whether Evelyn Lincoln warned Kennedy not to go to Dallas.

What is a Lincoln penny that has two heads on the obverse?

These are ordinary Lincoln Cents that a private company stamped with a rather crude portrait of John Kennedy. They were sold for about $1 glued to a card that listed several "amazing" similarities between the two assassinated Presidents. Like Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theater and Kennedy in a car built by the Ford Motor Co (a Lincoln). Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln and Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. About the only similarity listed that is 100% accurate is that both were succeeded by a Vice President named Johnson.
