Biography[]
Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK on 3 March 1847. Better-known for his association with the telephone, Bell's Genealogical Record Office in Washington, D.C. and also in Nova Scotia tracked human longevity (90+). He was one of the first persons involved in the validation of exceptional longevity, and his work concerning this was featured in National Geographic magazine in 1919. He is credited for the validation of Ann Pouder (1807–1917).[1] His wife Mabel Hubbard Bell was the daughter of lawyer Gardiner Greene Hubbard, who was the first president of the Bell Telephone Company. He was the fifth-cousin once removed of validated supercentenarian Bob Weighton (1908–2020), their most recent common ancestor being Alexander Bell (b. 1687).
Bell died of complications arising from diabetes on 2 August 1922, at his private estate in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada at the age of 75 years, 152 days.[2]
