Nusbaum had trouble understanding several questions asked to her, but could recall events of the past. Orpha Nusbaum died in Goshen, Indiana on 30 March 1988, at the final age of 112 years, 230 days. The official cause of death wasn\u2019t disclosed but she suffered from pneumonia shortly before her death. Her daughter-in-law implied that Orpha had lost her will to continue living. Upon the death of Florence Knapp on 11 January 1988, she was listed as the oldest living person, followed by Elzona Maxey and then Birdie May Vogt. However, Jeanne Calment was found to be older, meaning Nusbaum, Maxey, and Vogt never held the title of the oldest living person."@en . "1988"^^ . "American"@en .
