Who needs a magazine? <br /><br />http://thomasgardnerofsalem.blogspot.com/2018/02/ground-zero.htmlAJSwtlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927070658835473340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-79758828975347083202013-02-02T06:50:21.799-08:002013-02-02T06:50:21.799-08:00My gt. grandmother died during this flu outbreak. ...My gt. grandmother died during this flu outbreak. She was a widow, living with one of her sons in Georgetown, Newfoundland. One of the grandsons came down with the flu also, and, according to his niece, was in a coma like condition for two weeks. He survived but when he woke up, he found he had lost his grandmother, a sister and two brothers while he was unconscious.Thepyeplatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737124511840111060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-38983957295428498732013-01-16T14:31:26.483-08:002013-01-16T14:31:26.483-08:00This epidemic caught everybody by surprise, becaus...This epidemic caught everybody by surprise, because they were just beginning to learn germ theory and had no adequate ideas about how the flu was spread.
