Life and longevity
Little is known about Graham's life. She was born into slavery in December 1844.[1][2] Upon the death of Betsy Baker on October 24, 1955, Graham became the oldest person in the world.[2] Sometime in July 1958, Graham surpassed Delina Filkins's 1928 record as the oldest person ever recorded.[3]
On June 25, 1959, Graham died, aged 114 years, 180 days in Fayetteville, North Carolina.[1] Succeeding her as oldest person alive was James Henry Brett, Jr., another American.[4]
