Frederick Butterfield
Frederick Victor Butterfield (28 February 1864 – 9 March 1974)[1] of Harrogate, England, UK became the world's oldest man on 5 May 1973 after the death of Friedrich Wedeking.
Born at Thirsk, he qualified as a chemist in 1885 after training for five years.[2] He retired from pharmacy at the age of 99, according to the 1974 Guinness World Records.
An electroencephalogram was performed on Butterfield before his death at age 110 years, 9 days. The doctors concluded that his brain activity was comparable to that of a healthy person aged between 70-75.[3]
