    The oldest known American has died at 115. Or 116.

    She had 12 children (eight daughters, four sons), 68 grandchildren, 125 great-grandchildren and at least 120 great-great-grandchildren.

    The thought that she was 24 when the Great Depression started is staggering.

    She was 3 when the Model T was introduced. And apparently produced about as many Fords as Henry did.
