LongeviQuest is pleased to announce the age validation of Narcissus Rickman at 113 years old. She was born as Narcissus Elizabeth Jane Nicholson on 13 September 1855 in Transylvania County, North Carolina, USA.

It is believed that she was the oldest living person in the world before she passed away on 21 October 1968 in Hendersonville, Henderson County, North Carolina, USA. It is also stated that she is the fourth recorded person to reach the age of 113.
