    Post Italian Emma Morano the last known person born in the 1800s dies at 117

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-dies-117.html

    Emma Morano, the world’s oldest person believed to be the last survivor of the 19th century, died on Saturday at the age of 117.

    Morano, born on November 29 1899, passed away peacefully at while sitting in an armchair at her home in Verbania, near Italy's Lake Maggiore.

    Dr Carlo Bava, Morano's doctor, said he had last seen her on Friday when 'she thanked me and held my hand' as she did every time he called on her.

    He added: 'She didn't suffer. I'm happy she didn't suffer but passed away that way, tranquilly.'

    Morano had been increasingly spending more time sleeping and less time speaking in recent weeks, according to Dr Bava - who had been her physician for nearly a quarter of a century.

    It was clear she was ‘slowly fading away’, according to Dr Bava.

    Morano, born on Nov. 29, 1899, lived through two world wars, the great depression, 10 pontiffs and 90 separate Italian governments.
