“Lost an uncle 100 years ago to it...”
Yeah, that was probably during the Spanish flu epidemic. I remember we went to find a great grandparent’s grave, we knew which cemetery they were buried in but that was all. After about an hour of them poring over old records, they realized they couldn’t find a regular grave number because he was buried in a mass grave for the Spanish flu victims. Just one big corner of the cemetary with no markers and probably thousands of people buried there from 1917.
I believe so. Dad was still in Europe at the time (was in WW1)
