Edwin Stanton, who was Lincoln's Secretary of War, was present when Lincoln died early on April 15, 1865. He had ordered Mary Todd Lincoln from the room where Lincoln was dying.
When Lincoln died, he said, "Now he belongs to the ages." (although others present think he might have said 'angels').
He then said, "There lies the most perfect ruler of men the world has ever seen."
Stanton organized the hunt for John Wilkes Booth, who was shot and killed on April 26 in Virginia.
