vibranium Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Susannah Mushatt Jones, the world's oldest person, has died at the age of 116 years, 311 days. The supercentenarian died at 8:26 p.m. Thursday evening at her senior home in Brooklyn, the Gerontology Research Group’s Robert Young told the Daily News. She was the last known American to have been born in the 1800s, and there is currently only one more person in the world verified as having taken breath in the 19th century. Jones, known to loved ones as "Miss Susie," told the Daily News last year that she credited her long life to getting sleep, not smoking and not drinking, though she admits that she loves and often eats bacon. Her one marriage lasted only briefly, but the woman -- born during the McKinley administration -- has more than 100 nieces and nephews. GRG, which works with the Guinness Book of World Records, said that the oldest person is now Emma Morano-Martinuzzi, an Italian born on Nov. 29, 1899. The oldest American is now Goldie Michelson, a 113-year-old in Massachusetts originally from Russia, according to the GRG. ARTICLE SOURCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
