Place Died:of pneumonia
Remarks:See article on the Spanish Flu.
This death occurred during the terrible period
of the Spanish Flu and may or may not have been
the flu. Records usually said the death was of
pneumonia, before the term "Spanish Flu" emerged
See articles on Spanish Flu of 1918.
Before the name of "Spanish Flu" emerged,
the illness was most often called pneumonia and many
victims had dysentery. Mitchelson funeral home
buried at least 67 during this year with Spanish
Flu. Millions of people world-wide died so quickly
the records are not complete. And the records of
G.A.R. cemetery during this period are not complete.
