From Wikipedia.
Quote:Emma Martina Luigia Morano (29 November 1899 – 15 April 2017) was an Italian supercentenarian who, prior to her death at the age of 117 years and 137 days, was the world's oldest living person whose age had been verified, and the last living person to have been verified as being born in the 1800s.
She was the oldest Italian person ever, the second oldest European person ever behind Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, and one of the five verified oldest people ever.
Does that make her the last Lost?
Strauss and Howe start the GI Generation in 1901 but it only applies to the US. There are two living people who were born in 1900, according to Wikipedia. One is Jamaican and one is Japanese, so I don't know whether you can properly call them (or Emma Morano, for that matter), "Lost".
The oldest living man, incidentally, is a Holocaust survivor living in Israel.
