Clara Herling Huhn (1887-2000)

Clara Herling Huhn (January 28, 1887 – December 20, 2000) was an American homemaker and supercentenarian. Born near Clarkson, Nebraska, she lived near Schuyler for most of her life. She remained active, healthy and independent until the last few months of her life, and even answered an interview right before her 113th birthday. At age 113 years 327 days, she is the oldest person born in Nebraska, but she was not the oldest to die in that particular state, since she died in La Mesa, California. That title belongs to Helen Stetter, who died on June 1, 2007 at age 113 years and 195 days.
