This Texas woman just turned 115 years old, and she's now the oldest living person in the U.S. (www.wfaa.com)

Elizabeth has one daughter, who's in her 90s, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.

What a life, to see so many generations come after you.

And to see Texas slowly reverting back to the way things were when she was a kid too, just with scifi tech now

Born in 1909! The NAACP was founded, the first baseball statistician emerged, Taft was President. Just wow 🤯

I lived for 115 years and all I got was this stupid plaque. What the hell am I supposed to do with a damn plaque? I'm gonna be dead in about 3 weeks!

It says oldest living Texan even, not US.

Nothing will beat hearing about people that were still alive in the 1800's. It wasn't even that long ago either. The last living person from the 1800's died in 2017.
