From Dora Baty Argyle
One day we awoke to find we could not arouse my brother,
Hugh. One of my step-sisters, Norma ,
and also my sister Edna, had headaches and lots of pain it their backs. We called the Doctor. He told us what we were afraid of. It was a dreaded sickness call Influenza. One by one the whole family was sick in
bed. My father came to see us soon
after. It was his presence that kept me
from getting sick. I only stayed in bed
for two days. We all worried about Hugh
but when he finally awoke, he was all right.
None of us had any ill effects from the diseases as many people
did. My favorite Uncle Harold Pace went
to sleep and to this day he is an invalid in a wheelchair.
