List of oldest people by U.S. state of birth

Ascribing the title of U.S. State longevity recordholder can be done by a variety of criteria.For example,when Edna Parker became the oldest person in the state of Indiana,she became the "Epstein-style" state recordholder a week later,when she passed the age at death of previous oldest inhabitant Minnie Kearby to become the oldest resident the state had ever had.Not until the next year did she become the "Young-style" state recordholder,when she exceeded the lifespan of Indiana native Mary Parr,who had retired to Florida long before dying at 114.And it was only the year after that that she became the "Kral-style" state recordholder,because former world's oldest person Maude Farris-Luse (1887-2002) had lived in Indiana from 1891 to 1925 (E.A. Kral's compilations of long-lived Nebraskans include those who called the state home at any point in their lives).
