Addie Bess

Addie Bess (17 April 1870 - 2 June 1980) was a verified American supercentenarian. She was born in Texas and died in Galveston, Texas on December 31, 1985 at the age of 110 years, 46 days.

Age issues
Her age was verified by the Gerontology Research Group. But recently, members of The 110 Club (a group dedicated to supercentenarians) have cast doubts on Bess's claim to 110. According to the research found so far, she could have been born in 1871.
