(Neb.)-Nebraska's Oldest Resident Dies At 113

By: Rachel Auble Posted at: 06/02/2007 11:37 AM
VALENTINE, Neb. (AP) - After a life touching three centuries in Nebraska, Helen Stetter has died at the age of 113.
She was believed to have been the oldest living Nebraskan, the oldest to have lived her entire life in the state and the world's fourth-oldest person.
She was born November 18th, 1893, in Chadron. She died yesterday in Valentine.
Her second cousin, 70-year-old Bob Stetter, says Helen Stetter never married, never had a driver's license and was in good health other than losing her sight and some of her hearing.
Helen Stetter is listed in Guinness World Records 2007 as being among the 12 oldest living people.
Bob Stetter says -- quote -- "She wasn't in any pain or sick or anything. Old age just finally got her."

Back in 1960, the first year that I worked in town, when I worked for Yeast Hardware. The store was ran by Harold and Betty Fischer. I remember Betty telling me a story about Helen Stetter: She had a cat that had not been feeling well, she took it to Dr. Farner (Medical doctor, not a veterinarian). Dr. Farner checked it out, and on the bill he had wrote that it was for "Tom Stetter".
