Ruth Newman

Ruth Newman (born September 23, 1901) is an American supercentenarian who is, along with William Del Monte, one of the last two survivors of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, and aside from that, one of the 10 verified oldest living people in the world and only the third-oldest living American-born person ( behind Ruby Clawson and Susannah Mushatt Jones ).

She lives in Pebble Beach and attributes her long life to hard work she learned on her father's ranch, to keeping active (she played golf until she was 92) and to a glass of Scotch whisky she had every evening until she was 103.
