	Obituary: Charlotte Benkner / Ohio woman who was world's oldest person dies at 114 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Charlotte Benkner's reign of acclaim as the world's oldest person was short-lived -- it didn't even last until her death -- but her longevity was nonetheless inspiring to others.
		Benkner, a widowed ex-housewife who lived in Pittsburgh as a young newlywed nearly a century ago, never cared much for the fuss that accompanied Guinness World Records' recognition of her as the oldest living human.
		Benkner had no children, but a nephew and his wife looked after her, along with the staff of the long-term care center.

		Benkner "just lives each day as it is. She never got excited about her birthday until this year — it didn't mean anything to her," said Mary O'Hare, who is married to Benkner's nephew, George O'Hare of Boardman.
		Benkner attributes her longevity to genes — her father lived to be 95 — and a healthy lifestyle.
		Benkner and her family were to hold a press conference and early birthday celebration this afternoon.
