Subject: U.S. woman listed as world's oldest person dies at 116

MEMPHIS, Tennessee: Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bolden, recognized as the world's oldest person, died early Monday, the administrator of the nursing home where she lived said Monday. She was 116.
Bolden was born Aug. 15, 1890, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a Los Angeles-based organization that tracks the ages of the world's oldest people.
Guinness World Records recognized Bolden as the oldest person in August after the death of Maria Ester de Capovilla of Ecuador, who previously was listed as the oldest.
Bolden had lived at the Mid-South Health and Rehabilitation Center nursing home for several years until her death, said the center's administrator, Charlotte Pierce. She died at about 2 a.m. EST (0700 GMT) Monday, said Pierce.
Bolden suffered a stroke in 2004, and her family said she spoke little after that and slept most of the day.
Family members said she had 40 grandchildren, 75 great-grandchildren, 150 great-great-grandchildren, 220 great-great-great grandchildren and 75 great-great-great-great grandchildren.
