President Truman died at Kansas City's Research Hospital on December 26, 1972, at the age of 88. The next day thousands of citizens filed past his flag-draped coffin in the Library's lobby. Following the funeral on December 28, his body was interred in the Library's courtyard. Truman did not want to lie in state in the nation's capital, but he approved the plans for his funeral. After attending several of the planning sessions, he jokingly expressed regret that he would have to miss such a "fine show." The funeral, simplified from the original plan, was more in keeping with what his family wanted.

Harry Truman (34th President) died on December 26th 1972.
And the first President, George Washington died 14th December 1799.
However I don't know if either were lying in state on New Years day.

Why does that matter other than for statistical trivia?
