Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2015 We all know she wasn't 127 years old so why waste time with the story? The oldest verified person in history was 122 so what are the chances this woman was 127? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted March 21, 2015 Verified does not equal absolute. It just means the person comes from a country with better record keeping. She was very old either way (c.115 at the youngest if she did work with Pancho Villas as the Mexican government suggest in the Mail obit), and clearly obitable for the people who go for the old. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
