re: Who is the earliest born person you have ever met?

Living in 3 different centuries is crazy

My great grandfather was born in 1883. I'm 61 now and met him for the first time, that I remember, when I was about 6 or 7. I was around him much earlier but I was too young to remember. The man read his Bible every day, rolled cigarettes, dipped snuff, chewed tobacco or smoked his pipe. He lived to be 95. I guess the tobacco finally got him!

My maternal great great grandmother was born in 1904 and died in 2006 just before here 102 birthday. Still worked in a dry cleaners in Atlanta part time until about 6 months before her death. Walked everywhere in midtown. When she was in her 80s she got ran over and drug a hundred feet or so by a Marta bus and everyone thought it'd surely kill her. It didn't and she settled for about $3000 because she wasn't interested in money. When she was in her early 90s her doctor told her she needed to stop smoking cigarettes, something she had been doing since she was 14. She did, and it nearly killed her....worrying over not having a smoke. Doctor told he to start back LOL. I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with this woman as a child...she would drag me along to the dry cleaners she worked at for about 85 years and I would hang out until she got off work. At that time midtown was pretty freaky...lots of hookers and drug addicts....and I was friends to all of them as was she LOL...just youngsters in the neighborhood in her eyes. A notorious Atlanta pimp lived upstairs from her in a 6 apartment house owned by a prominent Georgia politician at the time. The politicians mother lived in the front apartment and kept about 100 cats. Many afternoons we would sit with the pimp and the politicians mother on the stoop of that apartment and watch the world go by....it was a helluva childhood....

That apartment is now a condo and her apartment sold for $946K in 2018. She'd like to know she lived in a million dollar apartment LOL...

Met aunts and uncles born in 1890s. I was basically raised, until 19, by my great grandmother who was born in 1902. Her wisdom and experiences that she shared with me have proven invaluable. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend so much time with her.

My Great Great Aunt Lena, born in 1899. Still had an active DL until she was 99. Lived to 103. Spent a lot of time with her. Sharp as a tack until the day she died. I remember she yelled at my dad at her 103 birthday party because he missed her 102 birthday party.

My great aunt, grandmother's sister, died at 103, she was born in 1889, I believe.

Just saw a 106 year old patient today. He looks great. I asked him his secret… he said red and white wine!

I was born in 1972. My great-grandmother was born in 1892 and passed away in 1990.

My paternal grandfather was born in 1892. WWI interrupted his youth and he was late getting married and starting a family.
