Biography[]
Maria Tomson was born as Maria Geelman in Aru Parish, Tartumaa, Estonia on 8 January 1867 (claimed 27 December 1853). She married Karl Tomson.
When she claimed to be 110, she still did handwork, read newspapers and books, and helped her daughter managing the household. The newspaper Rahva Haal wrote on her 110th birthday: "Maria Tomson brought up eight children, and a stepson as the ninth child. She has still never needed a doctor, she has been ill just once, 70 years ago."
Maria Tomson died in Holstre, Viljandimaa, Estonia on 26 April 1966 at the age of 99 years (claimed 112 years, 120 days).
