did anybody still living actually witness her birth on her alleged birthday?

Why, she was born in Hawaii!

That really puts it in perspective. Amazing to think about people who lived from the time when people didn’t have cars, electricity and mostly not indoor plumbing, to the age when we have been to the moon, have computers as a matter of course and can hop on an airplane and go anywhere. Wow.

My grandmother who helped raise me was born in 1888. No planes, no cars, no electricity but she got a teaching degree. She was born the same day as the great blizzard on the east coast but she was born in Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. I feel very blessed to have known someone who was born in that century. Her uncle fought in the Confederate Army. I remember when she watched the first man landing on the moon. She never knew computers or cell phones though. I wonder what there will be when I’m 115.
