Lillian Gertrud Asplund, the last American survivor with memories of the Titanic sinking, died at age 99 at her Shrewsbury home. She was five when the ship went down in 1912, losing her father and three brothers, while her mother Selma and younger brother Felix survived. Asplund, who kept a low public profile, was one of the few survivors with firsthand recollections.
