Spanish Influenza, Nov. 6, 1918

May 27, 2020

Three influenza fatalities were reported for the 24 hours ending at noon today, Nov. 6, two in Sheridan and one at Carneyville. Among fatalities was H. F. Ott, the well-known wagon maker, who died this morning. The fatality in Carneyville was a 15-year-old girl who died yesterday afternoon.
There is still much complaint concerning unnecessary use of the telephone during the influenza epidemic. Doctors say responding to inquiries as to the condition of people suffering from the flu are taking up time they could devote to meeting the needs of the sick.
