Mrs Ferdinand Reese Dies at 112 in Indiana
Mrs Ferdinand Reese, the oldest woman in Indiana and possibly the United States, died at 112 in La Porte. Born in Volgravitz Poland in 1794, she moved to America in 1870, lived in Buffalo then La Porte, and recalled Napoleon's Russian invasion on her deathbed. She attributed longevity to a simple diet of two meals of cornbread and black coffee daily.
