>From the evidence I've seen, victims were treated at home, or at best taken to local hospitals. I know of no influenza camps. People were buried at family, church, or public cemeteries just as if they had not died in the epidemic. There were quite a number of deaths, including five members of the Fred HANEBRINK family who I've seen buried at Trinity Lutheran Church at Egypt Mills that died between 2 and 15 Feb 1920. I've not seen any information on your Link family. ----Bill Eddleman >To all those replying to this post. I am aware that the influenza epidemic was > a worldwide epidemic.
