I didn't pose it as a question. And who would talk like that anyway?

That is something to imagine, isn't it? Just think of how few people are still alive who were born in the late 19th century. Technically 1900 is the cutoff date, however, most people would think 1899 is the last year of the previous century. Either year, there are very few people who are still alive on earth born in the 19th century. All of them would be well over 111 years old at the time of this post in late 2012.

I remember reading about this elderly lady in the news about a year or so ago and had noticed she resided in GA, and I had wondered about her, just imagine what all she experienced in her very long life.

Wow, just lost a few brain cells.

Yeah imagine being able to see things through their eyes, having seen everything they have. They probably live so long and end up being so happy because they're on a whole other level.

Awww. I loosely followed Ms. Cooper's story for the past two years or so. I felt a connection because she lived in Ga, in a county that I had actually been to. I didn't know she had passed away.

How incredible!! To have lived 116 years! I want to live to be 100+ and in my right mind, spry and active!!

I just looked up the living supercentenarians, and found that Jiroemon Kimura (a man) is now the 2nd oldest living person. It would be interesting if he ends up getting the top spot as far as living people are concerned, because women live an average of 5 years more than men, and I don't think a man has ever gotten the top spot in modern times.

Interesting mental exercise though. The car was in its infancy with mass production a budding idea. A lot of people still used the horse. The phone was in very few homes. No airplanes. Football was an Ivy League sport only and baseball was the rage. Probably more change in those 111 years than all of previous history.

I remember my grandfather (b. 1897) telling me that if you began a wagon trip to Atlanta from the family farm in SW DeKalb at daybreak, you would arrive downtown at dusk.
