March 31 Deaths in History

I started this with only women, to commemorate the last day of Women's History Month. But, darn it, there are some really important men who died on this day, too. So...

Eleanor of Aquitaine, 1204

Charlotte Bronte, 1855

Bella Abzug 1998

Terri Schiavo, 2005

Isaac Newton, 1727

J. Pierpont Morgan, 1913

Knute Rockne, 1931

Jesse Owens, 1980

Frank Perdue, 2005 (Don't miss this one -- use the printout version if ads obscure the story.)
