The artefact is a piece of bloodstained pillow taken from the Peterson house where Mr Lincoln died in 1985 after being shot by an assassin in Fords Theatre in Washington, said Mr Waskie, a historian and professor at Temple University. Lincoln died in 1985? "Artifact" is spelled "artefact"?

You don't remember President Reagan at his funeral?

Yes, Lincoln died in 1985, outliving his relatives and attending the opening of his Memorial in Washington. He was known by his friends as liking to spend pennies, pointing to himself, and kidding the store clerks “Lookee here, hey, see anything you’d like to ask?”
Lincoln, when he died in March of 1985, left his papers and other odds and ends to his next door neighbor, Mr. Jesse James.
