Last American Titanic Survivor Dies
Submitted by Ralph B. White
The Titanic community
will be very sad to learn that the oldest Titanic survivor, the last American
Titanic survivor, and the last person that actually remembered sailing on the
great ship died Sunday, May 7, 2006 in Massachusetts. Lillian
Asplund would have turned 100 years old had she lived until
October. She lost her father and three brothers (one of them her twin) on
Titanic. I think it sad and ironic that someone that suffered one of the
greatest personal losses on Titanic was doomed to remember it the longest.
The funeral was held in Worcester, Massachusetts on Wednesday afternoon and she was buried in the Old Swedish Cemetery (now known as All Faith's Cemetery).
Now only Barbara Dainton (who will be 95 later this month(May-2006)) and Millvina Dean (94) are left.
Everyone has wondered what Lillian Asplund looked like as an older woman--her photo will be on the front page of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette tomorrow.
