    That means that living memory of the 1800s is gone.

    You mean they are documentaries made in the 1800s ? Wow, I did not know that.

    There are moving pictures from the late 1800s actually but it's not the same thing as being able to recall been present there.

    Some of God's servants may have been present there in visions, that may count as it produces a more recent memory. A recent memory of something they have a lesser ability to understand than a very old person has if that person was an adult at the time the memory is from. But a vision combined with a good ability to understand may be even better.

    I suspect there are a few left who were unable to verify their birth certificates. I'm not ready to accept the idea that they are all gone yet.

    A couple of interesting things from the article...

    "Brown was raised in the Christian faith. She was baptized over 100 years ago at the age of 13..."

    "Brown's eldest son is 97 years old, which could possibly make him the oldest living person in the world with a parent who is also alive..."


    See TT...a 120 year lifespan iS possible.

    My Grandmother was born in the 1890's. She passed away when I was 17....one of my regrets is never sitting down with her, and asking her all about her life and the changes she witnessed.
