Ed Martin, America’s Oldest Man, Dies at 111
Ed Martin, the oldest known living man in the United States, passed away yesterday in Lehigh Acres, Florida, at the age of 111 years, 159 days.
Edwin George “Ed” Martin was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on 15 February 1915. He joined the Baltimore County Fire Department in 1943, dedicating his entire career to the Edgemere station. After retiring in 1964, he relocated to Florida.
On 15 June 2026, following the passing of 111-year-old Luis Cano of New Jersey, he became the oldest known living man in the US.
Rest in peace.

When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."
