<p>The anonymous woman from 1914 lives in the municipality of Haarlem (not Harleem). She was present on 1 December (as was Mr. Huang).</p>
<p>Mrs. Smaal turned 111, and was widowed from Mr. Van Boven. However, she married again in 2002, but her second husband has died since then.<br />This means that "Van Boven" disappears from her name. Because we do not know the name of her second husband, I suggest that we call her "Mrs. Smaal" from now on.</p>
<p>Mrs. Sikkema-Hommes turned 108 in great health!</p>

<p>Mrs. Smaal turned 111, and was widowed from Mr. Van Boven. However, she married again in 2002, but her second husband has died since then.<br />This means that "Van Boven" disappears from her name. Because we do not know the name of her second husband, I suggest that we call her "Mrs. Smaal" from now on.</p>
<p>Mrs. Sikkema-Hommes turned 108 in great health!</p>
