NORTH LIMA, Ohio (AP) - Charlotte Benkner, recognized as the world's

second oldest person, has died. She was 114.

Benkner died Friday at St. Hospital in Youngstown,

Sheridan of Fox Funeral Home in the Youngstown suburb of Boardman,

said Sunday. He did not have a cause of death. Her nephew's wife,

O'Hare, said Sunday that Benkner had been in the hospital for

the past two-and-a-half weeks.

The Guinness Book of Records recognized Benkner as the oldest person

in the world in November, but it replaced her with a Puerto Rican

woman last month.

Benkner and her husband of 56 years, Karl, had no children.
