Leila Denmark

Leila Alice Denmark (née Daughtry; February 1, 1898 – April 1, 2012)〔Lee Shearer (Leila Denmark, beloved doctor, dies at 114 ). OnlineAthens (2012-04-02)〕 was an American pediatrician. She was the world's oldest practicing pediatrician until her retirement in May 2001 at the age of 103, after 73 years.〔(''UGA researchers wrapping up study of centenarians and their longevity'' ), Athens Banner-Herald OnlineAthens (2006-12-27). Retrieved October 17, 2011.〕 She was a supercentenarian, living to the age of 114 years, 60 days. On December 10, 2011, at age 113 years 312 days, she became one of the 100 oldest people ever. At her death she was the 5th-oldest verified living person in the world and the 3rd-oldest verified living person in the United States.
As a pioneering female doctor, a medical researcher and an outspoken voice in the pediatric community, Denmark was one of the very few supercentenarians in history to gain prominence in life for reasons other than longevity.
She started treating children in 1928, the same year as Mickey Mouse made his debut, and by the time of her retirement was treating grandchildren and great-grandchildren of her first patients.
==Early life==

Born in Portal, Georgia, Denmark was the third of 12 children born to Elerbee and Alice Cornelia Hendricks Daughtry. Her paternal uncle was Missouri Congressman James Alexander Daugherty.〔"J. A. Daughtery Dies" ''The Washington Post'' (1920-02-02)〕 She attended Tift College in Forsyth, Georgia, where she trained to be a teacher, but decided to attend medical school when her fiancé, John E. Denmark (1899–1990)〔(John Eustace Denmark ) ,〕 was posted to Java, Dutch Indies, by the United States Department of State and no wives were allowed. She was the only woman in the 1928 graduating class of the Medical College of Georgia, and married soon after graduation. Denmark is credited as co-developer of the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine in the 1920s and 1930s. For this, she was awarded the Fisher Prize in 1935.
