Fellow ECRs, Last week I watched a PBS special on the influenze epidemic of 1918. They stated that 300,000 died in the United States alone from this outbreak. My question is, does anyone out there know where I can find information on this epidemic? I am interested in finding out how many people in Newark died and other information if possible. I lost two family members, a father and son died on the same day. Most cities had a shortage of caskets and some were buried in a common mass grave. I was wondering if that happened there too. I would assume that if there was a common grave, it would have been putin Potter's field. Thanks for any info. Pat from Idaho Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
