Portrait Lives: Abraham Lincoln and Did you Know?

It's Portrait Lives Wednesday!
Every Wednesday features a Portrait Lives, which is the showing of age progression in specific historical people through contemporary portraits of them. Way more fun than it sounds.

Every American knows about President Abraham Lincoln, he is widely outlawing slavery in the South and his Gettysburg Address.

Plus Lincoln was the messy hairdo master.

Assume all his ages typed below are preceded by the word 'about.' There are no pictures of Lincoln before he was 37.

Research by Doctor Zebra suggests with probability that Lincoln was dying of cancer when he was shot.

I have one thing to say about that: Oh. My. God.
He was shot on April 14, 1865 in Ford's Theater in the head and died the following day.
