It's interesting to see how different families were affected and how their descendants found the information.

In my mother's family (she was born in 1915), no one died. Maybe the flu didn't make it as far as the South Carolina farm country. I've read about that flu in the book "The Great Influenza," and it was sudden and devastating.Mariann Reganhttp://mariannregan.authorsxpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-55029482957622654562013-02-02T13:50:37.234-08:002013-02-02T13:50:37.234-08:00Interestingly, I just looked at my database of ove...Interestingly, I just looked at my database of over 4,500 individuals and only one person died in 1918 (in January) and I don't know what he died of; he was 62-63 years old. Of the two individuals who died in 1919, neither died of the flu. So no blog posts from me about influenza.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-61885930588587606982013-02-01T10:44:20.552-08:002013-02-01T10:44:20.552-08:00I haven't done any posts about the Spanish Flu...I haven't done any posts about the Spanish Flu, but I do know from family stories and letters that my grandmother Minnie Smith Yates was so scared that her husband Will Yates would come home from France with flu. He didn't, but I can imagine how terrifying it was to want your loved ones back home, but frightened they might bring a deadly disease.

Thank you for collecting all these blog posts on the subject! I now know what I will be reading over the weekend. :-) <br /><br />Did you see the footnote explanation in my post about how and why the 1918 pandemic came to be known as the "Spanish Flu" (it was a complete disservce to Spain, by the way!)?<br /><br />John Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-14554678101281738662013-02-01T07:59:41.738-08:002013-02-01T07:59:41.738-08:00My post from 2008 about ny grandfather who was at...My post from 2008 about ny grandfather who was at the Camp(later Fort)Devens, Ma during the Spanish Flu epidemic.<br /><br />http://westinnewengland.blogspot.com/2008/01/floyd-e-west-sr-at-fort-devens-sept1918.html Bill Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266937924453737084noreply@blogger.com
