William Del Monte
Stockbroker; last survivor of San Francisco's 1906 earthquake -- via the San Francisco Chronicle. Normally I don't include folks for mention merely for having witnessed something; in fact, Del Monte was nly three months old at the time and would remember nothing. The last World War I combatant died in 2011; Del Monte's is another milepost passed.
