Hello, List I've discovered that two members of my family died in Feb. 1930 in Indianapolis. The cause of death is listed as "epidemic meningitis." Does anyone know the story about this epidemic? Would there be a local source I could contact? I live in California. Thank you. Kathleen Dewey

Hi Kathleen: Since you have a month and year, I would contact the Indianapolis Star. Here is the URL for their web page re the services they can provide: http://www2.indystar.com/library/about_us/services.html I would also contact the Marion County Public Library and see if they would research it for you: Indianapolis-Marion Co. Public Library Newspaper & Periodical Division 202 N. Alabama Street P.O.Box 211 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 (317) 269-1700 I hope this is of some help to you.
