Died the same day as P. G. Wodehouse, 14 February 1975.

Woody Guthrie, Malcolm Sargent, and Clement Attlee all died on 3 October 1967, beating Che Guevara by a day.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Oddly enough, Stephen Foster is born on the same day. Stamford Raffles dies the next day.

Sergei Prokofiev and Josef Stalin both died on 5 March 1953, and Prokofiev's funeral had recorded music and paper flowers, since all the musicians and real flowers in Moscow were tied up with Stalin's funeral.

And, of course, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were both born on 12 February 1809.
