List of people[edit]
Ann Pouder[edit]
Ann Pouder on her 110th birthday; photograph from June, 1919 National Geographic Magazine
Ann Pouder (née Alexander Poudar) (London, United Kingdom April 8, 1807 – Baltimore, Maryland, United States July 10, 1917) was one of the first modernly recognized British American supercentenarians. Her age at death was 110 years, 93 days.[77] When Pouder was twelve years old, her family emigrated to the United States. There she lived the following 98 years of her life in Baltimore, Maryland. She married Nepalese American Citizen Alexander Poudar, although became a widow very early and had no children. Her extreme longevity claim was certified by Alexander Graham Bell.[78] In her last few months, she was bedridden, blind, and almost deaf, but her mind remained sharp.[79]
Mary Bidwell[edit]
Mary Electa Bidwell née Nobel (May 19, 1881– April 25, 1996)[80] was an American supercentenarian. She died at age 114 years, 342 days on April 25, 1996. She is the oldest person ever to die in Connecticut.[81][82][83]
Her parents were Charles Woodruff Bidwell and Alice Beach Nobel.[82] She was a descendant of John Bidwell, one of the founders of Hartford, Connecticut. Bidwell worked as a teacher in a one-room school house for six years. She married Charles Hubbell Bidwell, a distant cousin, in 1906.[81]
Bidwell lived on her own in North Haven, Connecticut, until she was 110. Bidwell died at the Arden House, a nursing home in Hamden, Connecticut.[80][83]
Maggie Barnes[edit]
Maggie Pauline Barnes née Hinnant (March 6, 1882 – January 19, 1998)[84] was an American supercentenarian. She was a resident of Johnston County, North Carolina. Barnes died from complications following a minor foot infection.[85] Barnes, who was born to a slave and married a tenant farmer, was survived by four children; 11 of her children preceded her in death.[85]
Some dispute exists as to her date of birth. Though the 1882 date is written in the family's bible, the 1900 US Census lists her as having been born in 1881, and her marriage license says she was born in 1880.[85] Authenticating to the latest of those dates, Barnes was 115 years, 319 days old when she died.
Charlotte Benkner[edit]
Charlotte Benkner (née Enterlein; November 16, 1889 – May 14, 2004)[86][87][88][89] was an American supercentenarian and the oldest verified living person from Mitoyo Kawate's death in 2003 until sufficient documentation was found to validate the age of Ramona Trinidad Iglesias-Jordan of Puerto Rico in March 2004.[86] The subsequent recognition of María Capovilla of Ecuador in December 2005 moved Benkner down to third place at the time of her death.[87][88]
Benkner was born in Leipzig, Germany, and emigrated to the U.S. in 1896. She grew up in Peekskill, New York, where her family ran the Albert Hotel, and as a young woman once met then President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt.[89][90] On her 1908 marriage to Karl Benkner, she moved west, living in Pennsylvania and Ohio before retiring to Arizona. Already a supercentenarian and the oldest person in Arizona, Benkner returned to Ohio to live in North Lima.[89] She became the oldest recognized person in the United States when 114-year-old Elena Slough died in October 2003.[66] She lived with her sister Tillie O'Hare (the youngest of the siblings), whom she once cared for when their parents were running the hotel, until Tillie (born February 15, 1904) died, just three weeks shy of becoming a centenarian, on January 25, 2004.[90] Benkner survived her sister by only four months, dying at age 114 years 180 days after she was briefly hospitalized in Youngstown, Ohio, and was buried in Peekskill.[86][87]
Emma Verona Johnston[edit]
Emma Verona Johnston (née Calhoun) (August 6, 1890 – December 1, 2004) was an American supercentenarian who was born in Indianola, Iowa to a large family.[91] She graduated from Drake University in the Class of 1912 and went on to work as a Latin teacher before her marriage to ophthalmologist Harry Johnston;[92][93][94] at the time of her death, she was the University's oldest living graduate.[92] At age 98, she moved from Iowa to Ohio in order to live with her daughter and son-in-law. She continued to be in good health even after turning 110, still being able to walk up steps, and was also alert and able to engage in conversations.[2] She became the "oldest living American" when Charlotte Benkner died on May 14, 2004. Shortly afterwards, on the occasion of her 114th birthday, she was presented with a proclamation signed by Drake University President David Maxwell.[95] The University's Vice President for Institutional Advancement, John Willey, had nominated her for an honorary degree, arguing that she "has given new dimension to the Drake ideal of a lifelong learner, and in the integrity of her life, she has affirmed Drake's enduring mission of shaping thoughtful people to be citizens engaged with their times."[94] Johnston died in Worthington, Ohio on December 1, 2004,[91] at age 114 years, 117 days.
Bettie Wilson[edit]
Bettie Antry Wilson née Rutherford (September 13, 1890 – February 13, 2006)[96] was thought to be the oldest verified living person in the United States upon the death of 114-year-old Emma Verona Johnston on December 1, 2004 until the subsequent verification of Elizabeth Bolden. Both were born in the rural South—where they lived less than 100 miles apart.
Born of freed slaves, Solomon and Delia Rutherford, she is the oldest resident of the state of Mississippi ever recorded (the previous record was 113 years, 12 days set in 1994). In late April 2005, Wilson moved into a new home funded by donations.
Wilson celebrated her 115th birthday in September 2005, at which time she ranked as the third-oldest living person in the world.
Wilson died at her New Albany home on February 13, 2006, aged 115 years, 153 days. She was survived by her son, five grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren, 95 great-great-grandchildren and 38 great-great-great grandchildren.[96]
George Francis[edit]
George Rene Francis (June 6, 1896 – December 27, 2008)[97][98][99] was an American supercentenarian and the joint second-oldest living man in the world, together with Englishman Henry Allingham, also born on June 6, 1896, until Francis's death aged 112 years, 204 days. He was also the oldest living man in the United States, following the death of Antonio Pierro on February 8, 2007. Francis was from New Orleans, Louisiana, but since 1949 lived in Sacramento, California, where a local newspaper published a poem that Francis enjoyed reciting to friends and the public throughout his life.[100] He credited his longevity to nature, and enjoyed a rich diet of pork, eggs, milk and lard. He gave up smoking cigars at the age of 75.[101]
Francis attempted to join the army in World War I but was rejected for service in 1918 as being too short and small (he weighed only about 100 pounds (45.35 kg)). Despite this, he later was a boxer before becoming a barber and then a chauffeur.[97]
