Poor Vida lost her husband and had two small children as well as being pregnant with her third child. The pandemic of 1918 left 6 children in total without a father.

It always strikes me when seeing things like this how back then you might not know a loved one had passed away until days, weeks, even months after it had happened.Leah Kleyleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796483107434706318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778634467165914304.post-9513304613962204392010-06-20T15:41:31.440-04:002010-06-20T15:41:31.440-04:00Awesome, Leslie!
