Pennsylvania resident Naomi Whitehead, 114, was recently crowned the oldest living American.
She earned the title as the oldest living person in America following the death of 115-year-old Elizabeth Francis last month.
Whitehead grew up on a farm, and "picked cotton and tobacco," she told New Castle News last year.
Though regular exercise wasn't ever important to Whitehead, her daily strenuous physical activity was "plowing in the field," she told YouTuber Jack Gordon in an interview.
Whitehead's responses to Gordon's questions were typically just a few words, but she was still able to recite an extended bible verse at age 114.
