Arved Tamm

Arved Tamm (31 January 1910) is an Estonian centenarian who is the oldest living person in Estonia since the death of Elle Malberg on 16 December 1905.

Tamm has worked in his long and exciting years as a farmer, photographer, ward, freight forwarder, market maker, brigadier, kiosk, and several other agencies. He was also the protagonist of his relative, writer Heino Kiige's seven-part romance series, the nominee genre Arve Jomm.

In 1910, when Arved Tamm was born, Peter I's memorial was opened on Vabaduse Square; Earth passed the Halley Comet's tail; Lev Tolstoy died; and VII General Song Festival was held in Tallinn. To the question of what is the most important event in his life, Tamm responded briefly: "Take a wife". According to him, this was the right thing. He remembers the tsarist and Soviet times, the First and Second World Wars, the birth of the Republic of Estonia, and the restoration of independence.

The close friends of Arved Tamm knew that he was from a large family. Altogether he had 12 sister brothers, four of whom died a short time ago.
