Message: [QUOTE="George L. Lorton, post: 52589, member: 163521"] Hi Michael Thanks for the Info The 2 October deaths are suspicious because to start with this strand of flue targeted young adults between 15 and 40 years. The exact opposite of what the flu usually targets which are the elderly and children. The main wave that killed the most people in 1918 was in the fall also. Mostly in September and October. So you see why I singled out Mr. Buckley and Mrs. O'Brien. Both died in October and I know for sure that Daniel Buckley was under 30. Was Daniel Buckley serving in the army at the time of his death. The reason I ask is that the Army camps were riddled with Influenza cases because of poor sanitation and also because of troop movements all over the country which also helped spread the disease.
