Last Person Born in the 1800s Dead- Emma Lochabay

An Italian woman born in 1899, was the last person living from the 1800s and the world's oldest person at the age of 117. She passed holding the Guinness World Record titles for the oldest living person and oldest living woman. The woman, Emma Morano, credits her longevity to her freedom from an abusive relationship and a balanced diet of cookies and raw eggs. She admitted that sometimes she would hide her favorite snacks, cookies, under her pillow so that nobody would steel them.

This article was published on CNN, a popular and trustworthy news website. I can trust this website for not including any bias in their articles. Published on April 16, 2017, this article is important because it marks a very important moment in history when the women who holds the world record for a women's longest life has died. You could synthesize this event to the death of Jeanne Calment, a 122 year old who holds the world record for longest life ever.

  2. I hope she had a good life, and I'm glad she got out of that abusive relationship. She certainly wouldn't have lived as long. The cookies are a nice tip.
