My Grandfather died of the 1918 flu. My Grandmothers letters and diary tell horrible stories about it. They even ran out of coffins to bury the dead.

Back home an emergency cemetery was established just for the flu victims. The graves were extremely shallow – and many had no coffins or headstones.

My father had the 1918 flu (survivived, or I would not be here) and is still surviving.
