My Mother’s Great-Uncle Never Remarried.

I found one person in our family tree who had succumbed to the pandemic 99 years before this one. Patrick (Pattie) Henry Morgan Norman died on January 2, 1919. She fell ill with “the new strain” of influenza after taking Christmas baskets to soldiers passing through on the train- six days earlier. She was 31 years old, and her husband, my mother’s great-uncle, never remarried.
