That flu epidemic killed people all over the nation - probably outside the U S, too. My dad described people actually dropping dead in the streets, and that was in Tennessee. I think that you can go into any U S cemetery and find whole families dying in 1917-18. It was really scary and so very sad. There was nothing that they could do about it.
