  • Carrie C. White (née Joyner; (she preferred to be referred to as Laura Oliver during her stay at the hospital) August 1888 (claimed 18 November 1874 - 14 February 1991) was an American supercentenarian claimant, who was thought to be the oldest living person in 1989 when she was verified to be older than Jeanne Calment (born 1875) who was believed to be the oldest person living. It was also thought that she was holding the title since 1988. Carrie had been institutionalised since a nervous breakdown in 1909, about the time of her divorce. Her documentation was described as impeccable at the time, but later research has called this into doubt. Family tree reconstitution based on her sister's name being Marie Harden (née Joyner) has debunked White's claim to 116 years, 88 days.
