notes: label: Description
content: Black silk cloth used to drape over Lincoln’s coffin while his body lay in state in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 28, 1865. The same cloth later covered the coffin of President James A. Garfield, who in 1881 became the second president to be assassinated. The date of April 25, 1865 on the pall's label is incorrect. Lincoln's body lay in state in Cleveland on April 28, 1865—on April 25, Lincoln's funeral train was in New York.
