Unfortunately anyone who might be able to shed more light on his experience has died, but I remember both my grandmother and mother telling me about the epidemic and how "Gramp" made it through. I do not know for certain whether or not he actually contracted typhoid. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
