Alberta Martin...97 years old (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/01/national/01MART.html?ex=1086667200&en=fb65380ff856dbb3&ei=5 062&partner=GOOGLE)
She had a pretty tough life, spent most of it dirt poor. She had a really young son to raise when her first husband died, and Martin was 81 when she married him, basically for his pension ($50 a month was a lot of money back then).
From all accounts i've heard she was a very nice lady...
I guess the war is finally over...

Was she a heroine to Anna Nicole Smith?
