The worlds oldest woman has died at 115yrs and 220 days in Indiana.

Just think of the changes she must have seen in her lifetime ..

To start with she has lived through 21 presidents. Queen Victoria was on the throne at her birth.
When she was born space travel was science fiction in books.
televisions, telephones, radios, computers.
What fashion changes she must have gone through.
Makes you wonder what she must have made of the world today from her childhood then
