The oldest American is dead; long live the oldest American!
Stunning everyone, 114-year-old Mary Josephine Ray died on Sunday. Ray was the oldest living American and, according to the Gerontology Research Group, the second-oldest living person in the world.
Suspiciously, there is already a new oldest person in America: Neva Morris of Iowa, who just happens to be only three months younger than Ray.
So, the new oldest American is 114-years-old, which means she was running out of time for her own reign … unless Ray was out of the way.
Just where were you on Sunday, Ms. Morris, if that is in fact your name?
