Hello! I have corresponded thru the postal service with Anna Mae Bowman who has told me more than once that many of our Creekmore and Mallory ancestors lost their lives to TB during this time period also. Marie *oh, I've been transcribing death reg. as a volunteer for the Missouri State archives that covers the latter years of your query and many of the deaths are attributed to Dysentery, Pneumonia, Meningitis, Whooping cough to name a few* -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Johnson [mailto:mjohns@ckt.net] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 11:42 AM To: Missouri-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MO] Flu Epidemic Does anyone on the list recall a flu epidemic in Missouri? This would of been between 1865 and 1892. My fathers grandparents lost several children to a flu epidemic.
