[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I thouyght Madame Chaing was the last living link to the 1800s.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

RIP.

Violet Brown of Jamaica she is also 117 but born in March 1900.

Amazing to think that there's still a living person born under Queen Victoria.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

One of the five oldest people ever (by the end of the summer, she would have been the third oldest ever), but we have all known that the end of the 1800s was near for years, and it is rather surprising that it made it all the way to the summer of 2017.

Isn't it weird to think that when she was born with, an entirely different set of human beings were alive on Earth?

My father's grandfather was born in the nineteenth century. I wonder what it's like to meet someone born in that century.

I wonder if anyone is alive who met someone born in the 1700s.

For example, a 108 year old who met a 108 year old shortly after birth.

Reminds me of the fact that the last surviving witness of the Lincoln assassination died in the 50s.

I've actually "met" someone who was born in the 19th century. My father's grandmother was born in 1895 and supposedly held me as a baby at some point. She died when I was just a toddler and about 18 months old, so obviously I don't remember her.

Reminds me of the fact that the last surviving witness of the Lincoln assassination died in the 50s.

It's not completely surprising since there are Civil War veterans that survived into the fifties and widows of Civil War veterans that survived into the 2000s.
