Hi Mike, If you get any answers to this, could you please forward it to the list. This is a very interesting historical topic and I'm sure many would be interested in it. I know I am. My g-grandfather died on 16 Nov 1918 of the flu. -- Cara (Gregory) Showers Anchorage, Alaska [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 11:01:30 EDT To: [email protected] Subject: [WVKANAWH] Deaths/Flu Epidemic Resent-From: [email protected] Resent-Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 08:01:37 -0700 Many in my family line from the areas of Kanawha & Jackson County, WV, died in the decade of the 20th Century known as "the teens." Their information is as follows: My gg grandmother Rachel Ann "Annie" Barnhart Huffman on 15 February 1917 Her son James Addison Huffman on 24 February 1917 Her daughter Mina Belle Huffman on 27 November 1918 James Addison Huffman's wife Fannie Barnhart Huffman in 1914 Their son Alton Huffman in 1913 Their daughter Bertha Huffman in 1911 My gg grandmother Lucinda Miller Coleman on 27 January 1917 I believe that some of these deaths came courtesy of the flu epidemic. Can anyone tell me when this epidemic occurred? Thank you in advance for any information. I look forward to hearing from you.
