I woke up

What notable things happened today?

And had breakfast. Then sat down to read.

Nobody famous was born on June 13th. All their parents were busy.

But deaths, that is something else. Greek Premier Theodros Delyannis murdered. Osamu Dazai, Japanese novelist dies by suicide, Ben Chifley dies of heart attack, Max Pulver dies.

English King Charles I married french princess Henrietta Maria, Martin Luther in defiance of the celibacy rule, weds ex nun Katharina Von Bora and Maureen O’Hara secretly marries George h Brown.

Simon Bolivar proclamation as dictator of Colombia. The Sicilian vespers premieres at the Paris Opera (1855). In 1868 Oscar Dunn became the first African American to be elected a Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana then the whole country went back to slavery and systematic racism for a century plus.

Christopher Latham Sholes’ version of the typewriter received a patent in 1868.

I tried to find ordinary people born or killed on this day and Google didn’t recognise such a query. So maybe we can stop here and have a happy 13th.
