The oldest American is now a 113-year-old Jewish woman named Goldie.

After the death of 116-year-old Susannah Mushatt-Jones last week, the New York Daily News reported that Goldie Michelson of Worcester, Massachusetts, became the oldest living American.

Michelson (neé Corash) was born in Russia in 1902 and emigrated with her family at the age of two. Her father, Max, opened up a dry goods shop in the Water Street area of Worcester.
