Gertrude Baines (April 6, 1894 – September 11, 2009)[1] was an American supercentenarian, who was the oldest recognized living person according to Guinness World Records, from January 2, 2009, the death of Portuguese woman Maria de Jesus, until her own death on September 11, 2009, at age 115 years 158 days. She was the last recognized surviving person documented as being born in 1894.

Baines lived in Los Angeles. Just before her 115th birthday, Baines was hospitalized and treated for dehydration, but she made a quick recovery. Aside from her arthritis and inability to walk, Baines was in good health until age 115. She was buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery.

Personal history[편집]

Born in Shellman, Georgia, Baines was the third daughter of Jordan (1863 – October 23, 1921) and Amelia "Amy" Baines (née Daniel), who were married in Terrell County, Georgia on January 1, 1887. She recalled that her earliest memory was a car ride to Canada.[2]

Gertrude Baines married Sam Conley at a "very young age" and had a daughter, Annabelle, born in 1909, [출처 필요] who died of typhoid fever at age 18. In 1920, Gertrude Conley was recorded as living in Hartford, Connecticut. She later moved to Ohio, where she worked as a maid at Ohio State University, before moving many years later to California. She lived at the Western Convalescent Home in Jefferson Park, Los Angeles, until her death.[3] She lived on her own until she was 105 years old. According to MSNBC.com, she enjoyed "simple pleasures" of eating a diet of bacon and eggs, and watched shows like The Price Is Right and Jerry Springer.

Baines voted for Barack Obama for U.S. President in the 2008 election. The only other time she voted in a Presidential election was in 1960 for John F. Kennedy.[4]
