I have some information on Lucy Carmack Barnes and children and husband Tom - I packed it
all into a zip file so send me your email address or write me directly and I'll send
what I have. They lost 5 children to the 1918 Flu epidemic, all dying in 8 days... I
don't see how they stood it... here is some of the info:
from Walter's info he was buried on 10 November 1918 as was his sister Elizabeth;
FIVE children all die within 8 days of one another...
Cleo died 2 Nov ... 4 siblings would die in next 8 days..
Elige died 6 Nov..
Walter died 8 Nov.. buried 10 November
Elizabeth died 9 Nov.. buried 10 November
Ottie died 10 Nov...
note to the person who inquired about Lucy Carmack and Tom Barnes.
Lucy was a sister to my great grandmother Susan Jane Carmack. And Susan Jane thought
she was born in 1869, but the census of 1870 does not show her, but shows Lucy born
in 1869... I think Susan Jane actually was born 1871 on the 2nd of August. Other records
seem to support this.
