World's oldest person dies at 116
World's oldest person dies at 116 Mon Dec 11, 8:47 PM ET
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bolden, recognized as the world's oldest person, died Monday in a nursing home, the home's administrator said. She was 116. Bolden was born Aug. 15, 1890, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a Los Angeles organization that tracks the ages of the world's oldest people.
Guinness World Records recognized Bolden as the oldest person in the world in August after the death of Maria Esther de Capovilla of Ecuador, who also was 116.
Bolden died at the Mid-South Health and Rehabilitation Center, a nursing home where she had been living for several years, said the center's administrator, Charlotte Pierce. Bolden suffered a stroke in 2004, and her family said she spoke little after that and slept much of the time.
Emiliano Mercado del Toro, 115, of Puerto Rico is now expected assume the title of world's oldest person, said Robert Young, a Guinness researcher. The Gerontology Research Group lists Toro's date of birth as Aug. 21, 1891.
Family members said this year that Bolden had 40 grandchildren, 75 great-grandchildren, 150 great-great-grandchildren, 220 great-great-great grandchildren and 75 great-great-great-great grandchildren.

Thats awesome.
1890. Wow. In her 50s during WWII.
From Wikipedia
Elizabeth was born in the year that Idaho and Wyoming became the 43rd and 44th U.S. states, the year that Dwight D. Eisenhower was born and Vincent Van Gogh and Sitting Bull died.
Elizabeth was already married with a child in 1910, the year that Mark Twain died and Halley's Comet came by for the last time until 1986, when she turned 96.
