We were very curious about the back portion of the cemetery because it has a lot of old graves. We especially liked looking to see if there were any pictures of the deceased on the headstones. In one section, we kept encountering the graves of numerous people, particularly children, who died in 1918. We thought there must have been some epidemic. When you posted the Encyclopedia of Genealogy: Epidemics, I remembered that day and looked up the year 1918. Sure enough, influenza was worldwide and did effect St. Louis. You might find this link interesting as it mentions Kansas City...<br /><br />http://1918.pandemicflu.gov/your_state/missouri.htmTRGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804679664231016434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820176023454345900.post-74162212522764896912011-05-30T19:21:09.722-05:002011-05-30T19:21:09.722-05:00I love this idea - and am interested in anything y...I love this idea - and am interested in anything you find out that could answer some of these questions.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820176023454345900.post-61170727544382912342011-05-30T17:47:56.917-05:002011-05-30T17:47:56.917-05:00That is a good question.
