World\u2019s oldest man
\n Corrego do cafe
\nJust a few days before his 128th birthday, Jose Paulino Gomes, who was believed to be the oldest man in the world, passed away in his home in Corrego do Cafe, Brazil, at the extraordinary age of 127, leaving behind a legacy that stretched more than a century.
\nJose, according to his 1917 marriage certificate, was born on August 4, 1895, and lived through important historical moments including the first-ever proms, the first rugby league football game, and the discovery of X-rays.
\nJose was born in the late-1800s, according to Willyan Jose Rodrigues de Souza, a legal advisor, who claimed that Jose\u2019s age was accurate. If de Souza is proven correct, Jose will exceed Spain\u2019s Maria Branyas Morera, who is the current Guinness World Records holder at 115.
\nJose led a simple and modest existence, working as an animal trainer and relying on products made from natural resources and locally produced goods.
\nHis seven children, 25 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, and 11 great-great-grandchildren all warmly remember him, The Sun reported.
\n\u201cHis uniqueness was that he didn\u2019t like anything industrialised, only things from the countryside, natural. He raised chickens, pigs… His food was all from here, had to be grown or raised here. And he always liked to have a little drink,\u201d Jose\u2019s granddaughter Eliane Ferreira said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
