}} Emiliano Mercado del Toro (August 21, 1891 – January 24, 2007) was, at age 115, the world's oldest person for six weeks, and the world's oldest man from November 19, 2004 (death of Fred H. Hale, Sr.) until his own death on January 24, 2007. At the time of his death in January 2007, at the age of 115 years and 156 days, Mercado was the second oldest fully validated male ever, behind Danish-American Christian Mortensen's record of 115 years 252 days. He continued to hold this position until more than five years later,〔 when, on September 23, 2012, Japanese man Jiroemon Kimura surpassed his age. On 21 August 2006, Mercado became the second fully validated man in history to reach age 115. He officially became the oldest documented living person on December 11, 2006, following the death of 116-year-old Elizabeth Bolden. ==Biography== Emiliano (known to his family as "Emilio") was born in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, (at a time when Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony) the son of Delfín Mercado and Gumercinda del Toro. Emiliano worked in the cane fields until the age of 81. He never married and never had children, but said he had three "girlfriends" (love interests) in his life.〔(Amazon.com: ''Earth's Elders - Wisdom, World's Oldest'' - p. 210: "Emiliano never married". )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emiliano Mercado del Toro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
