There are several books available about the Flu. I recently read The Great Influenza (John M. Barry) and can contribute this info: It got to be called Spanish Flu because Spain was not at war, had no censorship, and therefore was first to publish news of Flu. In fact, it started on a hog farm in Haskell County Kansas in late Jan - early Feb of 1918. It was spread to Camp Funston, where 56,000 young troops were prepared for the war in cold, dirty, overcrowded conditions. From Camp Funston, the young troops were sent all over the world, often into very overcrowded camps, and spread the flu far and wide, especially in France. By Sept. 1918, the flu seemed to erupt around the world at the same time, but this was just because it had reached a critical flash point because so many were infected. There were two general courses that the virus followed. The most common was a very, very severe flu that lasted for 3 weeks. Then the person would either get better slowly or develop pneumonia and die in another 3 days or so. (No antibiotics in those days) Violent headaches, body aches, high fever, cough severe enough to tear muscles, exhaustion, bleeding from nose, eyes and ears, and bruising, skin turning almost black. Often there were mental disturbances, delirium, stupor, psychosis, sometimes lingering for months afterward. The second course of the disease, perhaps caused by a mutation in the virus, perhaps caused by individual response to the virus, caused people to catch the disease and drop dead within HOURS!. Apparently, due to lung damage from the virus, their bodies flooded their lungs with fluid, sort of like a huge allergy reaction, and they essentially drowned. What a horror! People were dropping dead in the streets, bodies were stacked like logs in the corridors of hospitals and morgues, people were terrified. Often an entire family would be sick, no one left to clean up after them, no one to haul the bodies away for days. It seemed to attack young adults most severely, apparently because older folks had some immunity from a previous related strain. This book was not very good, mostly about the development of science and the people who worked on the epidemic. There are probably better descriptions of the epidemic elsewhere. My son's great grandfather was a butcher in Ohio and died of pneumonia 3 weeks after contracting severe flu in April 1918. He was probably among the earliest to die from Spanish flu.

Hi John, Not really off subject, because I'm writing a family history book, and these are the kind of stories that make it more than just names, dates and places. For instance, my husband had emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer, and almost died when my kids were small. They were naturally frightened, so my sister took them to Rocky Glen ( not Lake Ariel ) to get their minds off their dad. So these stories help us a lot, and bring back memories we may have forgotten. Thanks to all who contributed, Ruth

Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > the new law will also require > birth certificates to be renewed every five years Are you sure this is not some sort of urban legend? The staff to renew birth certs would require huge local expenses. Where's the money to come from? Unfunded mandates on local government is illegal in most cases. If no funding is available, no law change will take place! Maybe this means that they want to pass the BC file up against the SS death records to flag BCs as deceased? Still requires big bucks as most BC's are not carried in automated records, and it would be huge effort to type an index of the past 70 years. Susan in San Jose, Ca

Hello everyone I'm new to the list and I'm wondering if anyone knows if records were kept in Lackawanna County (Scranton, in particular) of those who died in the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1917-18. Or if anyone knows anything about the epidemic in the city. My grandmother had told me there were "wards" set up in the city to care for the dying and spoke of having to visit her father "in the ward". She never said anything more specific. If anyone can help with info, or just pointing me in the right direction, it would be appreciated!! Thanks!

I, too, am complaining to who ever will listen . All they have to do is eliminate the SS# on our requested copies, either by not allowing that space to be printed in computer generated versions or black it out from older files. But simple is not a part of any governmental solution. The more complicated the solution the more peole they have to hire to comply with it. I wonder if they're thinking of having death certificates renewed , too? And will those who don't (or can't) come back to life if they aren't? lol Dumb politions!
