On July 21, 1905 the Board of Health announced that yellow fever was loose in the city. The news led to a general exodus and almost precipated a financial panic. With the new methods to eradicate the mosquitoes, the city was free of the fever during the month of September. 452 residents of New Orleans died during this outbreak, which was the last in New Orleans.

Here is my problem. My GGGrandmother (the lovely & mysterious) Seraphina/Sarahfina Hepp Baumgartner and her unmarried daughter, Eleonore/Eleanor Baumgartner are both found in the 1900 census record along with my grandfather, Albert, his siblings & his parents, William & Amelia, in Dist 32, Ward 3, New Orleans records. And then they just disappear after that.
