Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was shot in the head by an actor named J. W. Booth on April 14, 1865 in a theater.
Abraham Lincoln succumbed to his injuries in the hospital on the morning of April 15.
According to a foreign website, after the autopsy of Abraham Lincoln, the doctor cut some of his hair and made a tuft.
The autopsy was performed by Dr. Todd, a cousin of Dr. Abraham Lincoln's wife, who cut her hair during the autopsy.
The hair was later presented by Dr. Todd's secretary by attaching it to a telegram from the War Department, and it has now been auctioned off with the same telegram.
