ONE OF SAN FRANCISCO'S OLDEST REMEMBERS THE 1906 EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE
Lucille Meyer, believed to be one of the city's oldest native residents, marked her 109th birthday on Friday, Dec. 30. The mother of two has 20 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild who was born last fall. She is believed to be one of the oldest survivors of the great earthquake and fire that destroyed the city in April 1906. Meyer was 9 when the earthquake and resulting fire struck, burning the city for four days and destroying the Meyer family home. The experience of watching the city burn and living near the wreckage still haunts her every time there is an earthquake.
