Geert Adriaans Boomgaard

rdfs:comment

Geert Adriaans Boomgaard (21 September 1788—3 February 1899) is accepted by most demographic scholars as the first verified supercentenarian case on record, although some people view him as the second supercentenarian; his fellow countryman Thomas Peters (1745?-1857) allegedly lived to 111 years, 354 days, yet this claim has not been validated. Since there is evidence that Boomgaard served as a soldier in Napoleon's Grande Armée , he may have in fact been the oldest military veteran ever for several decades (the oldest military veteran ever is the Puerto Rican man Emiliano Mercado del Toro who lived to 115 years, 156 days). Geert Adriaans Boomgaard (b. September 21, 1788–d. February 3, 1899) was a Dutch supercentenarian. He was the first verified supercentenarian ever, though some people also think Thomas Peters was the first supercentenarian ever. At the time of his death he was the oldest person ever until 1966.
