William Henry Seward was President Lincoln's Secretary of State. He was stabbed by Lewis Powell, a co-conspirator in John Wilkes Booth's plot to assassinate several key office-holders in the Union. He survived the attack.

Henry Rathbone, a military officer, was also non-fatally stabbed by John Wilkes Booth himself immediately after Booth shot Lincoln in Ford's Theatre. Rathbone and his fiancee were sitting next to Lincoln and his wife in the same box.
