who is the oldest person in the usa
May 17, 2016. Massachusetts is full of history, and now the Bay State can lay claim to another time-honored title: the oldest living person in the United States. Goldie Michelson, who graduated from Clark University in Worcester in 1936, is officially the oldest person in the U.S. and the oldest Jewish person in the world, according to Clark. Sheâs currently 113 and will turn 114 in August. Michelson still lives in Worcester and spoke to her alma mater in 2012 when she was 110.
