Claire Cayot O'Rourke
Claire Cayot O'Rourke (January 23, 1885 – June 26, 1996〔http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ca/plumas/cemeteries/beckwourth.txt〕) was an American supercentenarian and the first woman to hold public office in the state of California. At 111 years of age, she was also one of the oldest Americans on record and the oldest known survivor of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
==Early life==
O'Rourke was born in La Porte, California in 1885, the oldest of seven children born to French-born Francais "Frank" Cayot II and his wife Claire. The Cayot family owned and operated the The Union Hotel, La Porte, California and Frank Cayot supplemented their income by handling the account books for a number of local mines and businesses.
The family was known for their sometimes controversial friendship with Chinese settlers. When, in 1886, the Miner's Anti-Chinese Association instigated a boycott of businesses which employed Chinese workers, Frank Cayot was added to the boycott list for employing a Chinese cook. Fortunately for the family, the local boycott proved ineffective because the hotel business depended primarily on income from stagecoach travel.〔Farkas, Lani Ah Tye, ''Bury My Bones in America'' 1998〕
