There was a terrible influenza epidemic about 1864 in now Garrett County area.---this according to Emmert Bittinger in his book " Allegheny Passage". He wrote of some in the Church of the Brethren who died in that period ca 1864 of the flu. I had some ancestors who died in that epidemic.----Mossers... Take care~~ Pat H.

Leonard Dewey Warnick s/o Ezra and Lucinda (Bowser) Warnick spend his early years as a resident of Garrett County. Born in the coal mining town of Hubbard, West Virginia he spent his boyhood in several different mining towns in West Virginia and Maryland. In 1938 he met and married the late Eileen (Friend) Warnick. Their original home was in the mining town of Vindex. Leonard worked in the Maryland coal mines until his entry into the Navy in 1942. While he was in naval training, Eileen moved to Middle River, Maryland to work at the Martin Marietta airplane factory. As with so many families, after the end of the war, Leonard and Eileen stayed in the Essex/Middle River area where they raised their family. To Leonard and Eileen the mountains were always "up home". Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of frequent trips and vacations with them... "to the mountains", to visit friends and family. They did, in fact, instill in me a tremendous love for "up home". Though Leonard's health had declined in recent years he was able to direct his affairs and care for himself until very recently. For the last year he had resided with one of his granddaughters where he lived comfortably until the Lord called him home. He passed quietly this past Sunday. Services will be on Wednesday 8/16 at the Durst Funeral Home in Oakland, followed by interment at the George Cemetery in Swanton. Leonard was preceded in death by his wife Eileen (2002). He is survived by Norma Jean (daughter), a son, 6 grand children, and 3 great grandchildren. Tim Jewell (grandson)

Just thought about this there was always TB. I know it is not considered an epidimic but if several members of a household came down with it, it might seem so.

I had searched for information of an epidemic in the Pittsburgh Pa area around 1845 when my gr gr gr grnadmother and two daughters died of Smallpox. None of the official listings of epidemics mention this time frame. It wasn't until I searched the Digital holdings of Historic Pittsburgh searching for Smallpox in 1845 that I found out there had been an outbreak in the area the winter of 1845-1846. It wasn't announced as an epidemic merely an outbreak. Laurie Beth Roman

Hi listers, I couldn't find any statistic specific for Allegany or Garrett County, MD for the year 1902. However Black Diptheria, TB, and polio were some of the diseases in the area. I'm thinking that there wasn't enough population in those areas to be of epidemic proportions. My Dad had polio as a baby -- Born in Bittinger in Jan 1902. The disease affected the growth of his left leg and foot by about 1" and his foot size by 1/2 size. Lois Hetrick Stewart Diptheria a disease of poverty, poor sanitation and water supply . . . Information on epidemics in U.S. - 1657-1918 was found at this web side: _http://members.aol.com/AdamCo9991/epidemics.html_ (http://members.aol.com/AdamCo9991/epidemics.html) Epidemics in U.S. - 1657 - 1918 Epidemics have always had a great influence on people -- and thus influencing, as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records cam be traced to dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area.

I am looking for same information for about 1860. Nancy Callan Mauger

Hello everyone, Is anyone aware of any particular epidemic that may have caused several death's in Allegany and Garrett Counties, August 1902? Thank you for any information offered. Fran

Hello to all you hard workers!! My name is Patricia Durst Shaffer, at a recent Durst Reunion we decided to have a marker placed in the Old Union Cemetery, Salisbury, Pa. for Casper Durst, our ancestor who fought in the Rev. War. I have a letter from the Dept. of Vet.Affairs, Wash.D.C. , I need to fill out the info. in order to receive a government marker. I know that Casper Durst was in Daniel Cresap's Company, and is listed under Garrett Co., Maryland Veterans of the Rev.War. The Glade Star, in 1942, by the Garrett Co., Historical Society , states that Casper Durst was a member of Capt. Daniel Cresap's Company. I also have info. stating that Ross Compton Durst and Margaret Durst Cupler were accepted into the S.A.R. & D.A.R. under his service, sometime in the 1970's. They list his birth as 1731 and death as 1823, this must be on his papers. The field stone, however, shows the date as 1839. In order not to delay a response, or have to rewrite info., on Casper Durst it would help if I have the info. that was accepted on him. If it is possible to sent or e-mail, it to me I would very much appreciate your assistance in this matter. I realize that it takes time and effort on your part and I thank you so much in advance. Patricia Durst Shaffer.
