Born April 6, 1894
Gertrude Baines was born to former slaves in Georgia in 1894 and lived much of her life in Ohio, working as a house mother at a state college before divorcing and moving to Los Angeles, where she now lives in a nursing home, CNN reported Saturday. Her only child, a daughter, died at age 18 of typhoid fever, CNN said.
Baines, who voted for Barack Obama for president, said only God knows why she has lived so long. Ask him. I took good care of myself, the way he wanted me to, Baines said.
