Last US Survivor of Titanic Disaster Dies at 99, Lillian Gertrud Asplund.

BOSTON — Lillian Gertrud Asplund, the last American survivor of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, has died, a funeral home said Sunday. She was 99.

Asplund, who was just 5 years old, lost her father and three brothers — including a fraternal twin — when the "practically unsinkable" ship went down in the North Atlantic after hitting an iceberg.

She died Saturday at her home in Shrewsbury, said Ronald E. Johnson, vice president of the Nordgren Memorial Chapel in Worcester, Mass.

"She went to sleep peacefully," he said.

Asplund's mother, Selma, and another brother, Felix, who was 3, also survived the Titanic sinking in the early morning of April 15, 1912.

Asplund was the last Titanic survivor with actual memories of the sinking, but she shunned publicity and rarely spoke about the events.

Two other survivors are living, but they were too young to have memories of the disaster. Barbara Joyce West Dainton of Truro, England, was 10 months old and Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" Dean of Southampton, England, was 2 months old.

"The Unsinkable" Molly Brown

Molly's life took a surprising turn after the sinking. Previously, her efforts to be accepted by Denver society had been unsuccessful, the Selflessness and heroism she had shown on the Titanic prompted her neighbors, for a short time, to open their doors to here. in 1924 she was named a potential candidate for Congress. As time passed on, however, she grew increasingly eccentric. her husband died intestate and she found herself at odds with her children over his money. in 1932, at the age of 65 she died suddenly in New York City after a stroke. It was only after her death, when she became the subject of the hit Broadway musical and film, "The unsinkable Molly Brown" That she gained some of the fame she would have so enjoyed in life.
Bruce Ismay

J. Ismay Retired as planned from the International Mercantile Marine in June 1913, but the position of managing director of the White Star Lines that he hoped to retain was denied him, surviving the Titanic Disaster had made him far to unpopular with the public. He spent his remaining years alternating between his homes in London and Ireland. because Ismay had never had many close friends, and subsequently had few business contacts, it was mistakenly easy to assume that he had become a recluse, he did enjoy being kept informed of shipping news but those around him were forbidden to speak of the Titanic. He died in 1937.

Ruth Becker: 12 on the titanic she died 1990
Richard Becker: 2 on the titanic he died in 1975
