Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 14 November 2004 Vol 3 Issue: #33 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, This week my thoughts are a bit like the “rambling wreak from Georgia Tech”; all over the “field”, much like James Joyce’s writings. The term quarantine means: to separate and isolate to prevent the spread of disease. This includes bacterial infections, viruses, funguses, and parasites (both internal and external). Back in the 1930s the County Health Department used to issue signs which were posted on entrances to houses. They were quarantine signs for communicable diseases. These were large signs ... large enough to be read from sidewalks ... placed outside the home to warn people about the presence of deadly and/or very contagious diseases. Measles, Chicken Pox, diphtheria, typhoid fever, and Scarlet Fever, each had their own color and for the “life of me” I can’t remember which color belonged to which disease; though I will attempt a couple of them from memory. Quarantine signs were common and posted in front of homes in cities, towns, villages, and even farms across this land from the mid1800s until the middle of the 20th century. They were characterized with large bold headlines with warning that removal would result in prosecution. Diphtheria and scarlet fever were lumped together as “throat distemper”, yet had different colored notices; blue-gray for diptheria and scarlet for scarlet fever says my memory. Diptheria was much feared with thousands of cases reported each year, with large numbers of deaths. Scarlet fever was also a feared and deadly childhood bacterial infection characterized by an extremely high fever and unique red rash. The extremely high fever caused the death of my older brother in 1933. It was unfortunate that scarlet fever and diphtheria were often linked with poverty or unsanitary conditions. As a result, quarantine posters did play a part in limiting the spread of these diseases, but they also perpetuated the stigma by identifying who had the disease emphasizing isolation rather than education. Typhoid fever immunization was required for our family to join my Father overseas before World War II. As I remember, the posters for typhoid fever were a light purple. In the thirties [1930s that is], there were relatively few families who owned cars, so there were few garages. With so little traffic on our streets we were seldom disturbed playing “stick ball” in the streets. In the winter we could play “hockey” with old brooms and a pet milk can. There were alleys to play hide ‘n seek. Out front there were slate sidewalks for roller skating or riding home made scooters. For many years following World War II, it was a rare event to experience a sighting of our National Bird, the Bald Eagle. Along the shores of Lake Erie today there is a return of the bird. Perching high on a tree top they are a majestic sight. It is a lucky sight ... luckier if you sight a pair. They do travel in mating pairs. Often, with wing spans of six or more feet, the sight of them soaring high above captivates a person. Their screech vibrates excitement, like the sound of bagpipes. And this brings me to say that Veteran’s Day was this week. Courthouses closed, Government offices closed, there was no mail delivery, and many small cemeteries, with the help of volunteers, put flags on the known graves of Veterans. I learned that the place where my Father is interred doesn’t do that for Veteran’s Day. When asked why they didn’t; the answer was that they have more than 35,000 people buried in the cemetery. They only place flags at grave sites for Memorial Day. I mentioned that there had never, despite my request each year, been a flag placed at his grave even on Memorial Day. Their answer was that I was always welcome to place one there myself. They “always have extras at the office” and I could pick one up. Or, I could volunteer to place flags on Veterans’ gravesites for them, and they would even see if I could be assigned my Father’s section. Gee, I guess I could. After all, Dad was “one of the few” and very Proud of it. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 7 November 2004 Vol 3 Issue: #32 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Osiyo, This is the season ... it starts at Halloween, and sometimes earlier. Halloween, or All Saints Day ... solemnly celebrated on the first of day of November. It was instituted to honor all the saints, known and unknown. In the early days the Christians were accustomed to solemnize the anniversary of a martyr’s death. Often martyrs suffered on the same day. This, of course, led to celebrating many martyrs on the same day; however, not all, so that a separate day could not be assigned to each martyr. Since the feeling was that every martyr should be venerated, the appointment of a common day for all was inevitable. That day eventually became the first of November, probably because Gregory III consecrated a chapel in the Basilica of St Peter to all the saints and fixed the anniversay as 1 November. Dia de los Muertos ... The Day of the Dead ... which is also known as the Fiesta de los Muertos, is a holiday which is celebrated by the Spanish speaking countries of Central and South America. This has spread some to the North American continent. This holiday celebration originates with the indigenous native peoples of Mexico. These pre-Hispanic people had a belief that the souls of the dead would return each year to visit with their living kin. When the Spaniards arrived in the early 16th century, they found this well established in the native religions. The Aztec people held rituals that included the use of skulls. To the Aztec, skulls were used to symbolize death and rebirth. Yep, rebirth. The Spanish regarded this as pagan and barbaric. They tried assimilation, which was difficult to say the least. The Aztec ritual was originally held in the summer, overlapping July and August. The Spanish Catholics pushed the celebration to the first of November to coincide with All Saints Day. The second of November then could be kept as the commemoration of all the faithful departed. Well, the traditional native holiday was intermixed with the Catholic tradition but never disappeared. In many Mexican localities, the first of November is the day for remembrance of deceased infants and children, often referred to as Dia de los Angelitos ... The Day of Little Angels. The adult departees are honored on the second of November. Total assimilation failed. Well, this is the season to celebrate with the dead. Have you ever noticed how many of your loved ones seem to pass on between about Halloween and the New Year? My Father died in the latter days of October. My Father and Mother-in-Law in November. A cousin and our daughter died in the last two days of December. And, those are just a few of our close loved ones. The Dia de los Muertos is not celebrated by just Hispanics. Our family remembers our loved ones. When we were children, my wife and I went on picnics together. Some of the favorite places were cemeteries. We would always look for surnames of our family and we would recognize them. We gained respect and knowledge of our past and the family of which we were members. All this thinking was brought about because of a simple act of kindness. One of the genealogy societies in which I hold membership purchased a roll of microfilm to place in the local library’s local history and genealogy department, dedicating it to our daughter. What a nice memorial. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.
