Doug, >From the a list of Historic U.S. Diseases, and the list is not specific to Ark., here are some of the outbreaks... 1873-5 North America and Europe Influenza. 1878 New Orleans (last great epidemic) Yellow Fever; ...1886 Jacksonville, Fla Yellow fever; ... 1918 Worldwide (high point year) influenza more people were hospitalized in WW1 from this epidemic than wounds. US Army training camps became death camps, with 80% death rate in some camps. This last one was commonly known as the Pandemic. Hope this helps, Barbara Does anyone on the Jackson County Web Page know anything about a flu epidemic that could have occurred in or around 1880 and 1923?
