Lucille Conlin Horn, who lived in Long Beach, New York, died February 11, according to the Hungerford and Clark Funeral Home.
She had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Horn was among thousands of premature babies who were treated in the early 20th century by Dr Martin Couney.
He was a pioneer in the use of incubators who sought acceptance for the technology by showing it off on carnival midways, fairs and other public venues.
He never accepted money from their parents, but instead charged oglers admission to see the tiny infants struggling for life.

"He said, 'Well that's impossible, she's alive now. We have to do something for her,'" she said. "My father wrapped me in a towel and took me in a cab to the incubator; I went to Dr. Couney. I stayed with him quite a few days; almost five months."
Couney died in 1950 and is viewed today as a pioneer in neonatology.
After a funeral Tuesday, she was buried at the Cemetery of the Evergreens in Brooklyn, next to her twin sister.
