No. 54 The person thought to be the oldest woman in the world has died. Eva Morris died in central England six days before her birthday. The Guinness book of Records reports Ms. Morris was 114 years old. She was born in 1885. She survived both her husband and her only child Winnie. A family friend says Ms. Morris believed that drinking whiskey alcohol and eating boiled onions helped her live a long life. She also enjoyed smoking cigarettes and riding a bicycle.
