I believe if memory serves me right, the hardest hit was Arkansas. My husband’s great great grandmother died in the Pandemic. We cann’t find a grave for her anywhere, and I believe that she was probably buried in a common grave, because there were so many dying at the same time.

The Great Influenza. A very good read.
There were entire villages of 300-400 people wiped out in remote areas that had had little exposure to flu over the generations.
The author also posits that it had an indirect effect on the conditions which led to WWII via Wilson's incapacitation after the Armistice.
