Subject: Emma Morano, last person born in the 1800s, dies at 117
Written By: Mitch Kramer on 04/15/17 at 2:41 pm
The world's oldest person has died in Italy at the age of 117, reports say.
Emma Morano was born on 29 November 1899 in the Piedmont region of Italy. She was officially the last person born in the 1800s still living.
She had attributed her longevity to her genetics and a diet of three eggs a day, two of them raw.
Ms Morano was the oldest of eight siblings, all of whom she has outlived. She died at her home in the northern city of Verbania.
Her life not only spanned three centuries but also survived an abusive marriage, the loss of her only son, two World Wars and more than 90 Italian governments.

RIP Emma Morano.

It is. If I live to be even 100 years old (in 2099) then I'm good, lol.

Yeah, and she is also the last person from the 19th century.

She's the second to last. You have Japanese woman Nabi Tajima who was born August 4, 1900. Either way that's still crazy.

So, we still have at least one more person born in the 19th century who's still alive.

We have at least 2 confirmed. Violet Brown (Jamaican) and Nabi Tajima (Japanese)...both were born in 1900.

I'd hate to be named "the oldest person alive".
Seems pretty soon after you're named the oldest person alive, there are stories coming out that you're dead. :o

I applaud her for living that long, since she was the last person who lived during the 1800s.

That was amazing to live to 117, she must have stories to tell.
