Carrie C. White

Carrie C. White(18 November 1874 or c.1889-14 February 1991) was an American centenarian,who was named the oldest living person in 1989 when she was verified to be older then Jeanne Calment (born 1875) who was believed to be the oldest person living,it was also decleared she was holding the title since 1988.Carrie had been institutionalized since a nervous breakdown in 1909, about the time of her divorce. Her documentation was described as impeccable, but recent research has indicated she might in fact have been 21 rather than 35 when she was admitted,which explains she might have been 102 instead of 116 at the time of her death.If her 116 claim was right,she would be the 8th oldest person in the history.
