No question that the coincidences are fun to look at, but as Snopes points out to us, there are even more dissimilarities that are ignored (i.e. Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865 while Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963; there's no real parallel between the dates of their assassinations).
Yes, they were elected to the House of Representatives 100 years apart and to the Presidency 100 years apart (ignoring Lincoln's reelection as Kennedy did not live long enough to be reelected), and they were both succeeded by southerners named Johnson. I guess the parallel between Ford's Theatre and a Ford car, model Lincoln, is also coincidental. Nevertheless, coincidences happen sometimes, and something compels us to make something of these coincidences.
And of course, some of the coincidences are completely fabricated, like that a week before their assassinations, Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland and Kennedy was in Marylin Monroe. That's obviously a bit of humor, but for the record, Marylin Monroe died more than a year before Kennedy was assassinated. :)
