Katherine Markham Johnson(28 Jun 1908-24 Dec 2002)
Married to William White Drakeford on May 20, 1933 in Johnston County, North Carolina.
**********************************
Considered North Carolina's oldest resident at the time of her death. Mrs. Drakeford was a retired schoolteacher and the 10th oldest person in the world. The oldest of six children of James William Markham and Ianna Rebecca Leigh Markham graduated from Trinity College, now Duke University, in 1912, the year the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. She was just shy of her 12th birthday when the Wright Brothers flew. According to the Gerontology Research Group at the University of California at Los Angeles, she was the fourth-oldest documented American and 10th-oldest documented person in the world. The group said Mrs. Drakeford's age was listed as 8 in the 1900 U.S. Census. She taught in Mount Olive near Goldsboro and at an elementary school in Durham until her retirement in 1957. She was a fan of desserts, Western novels and The New York Times crossword puzzle.
Above everything else she was truly a lady in every respect. Her husband, William White Drakeford, died in November 1956. Mrs. Drakeford had no children. At 106 she was still able to write letters to her sister, Katharine Markham Johnson of Fuquay-Varina. Mrs. Johnson died in 2002 at the age of 94.
Mrs. Drakeford enjoyed watching the TV game show Jeopardy! at a care home she lived at since 1991. She taught in Mount Olive near Goldsboro for one year before returning to her hometown to teach at Edgemont Elementary School until her retirement in 1957. When Drakeford retired, she spent most of her time at home reading books, playing cards, solving puzzles and watching television. She enjoyed company, but she never minded being by herself. She always had her readings and puzzles to entertain herself. She was taken to Hillcrest Convalescent Center in 1991 after she was injured in a fall in the back yard of her Durham home. Her doctor said Drakeford died of advanced age and was developing pneumonia. Another likely contributing factor to Drakeford's longevity was that she did not have children.
