This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Death of a 5-Year-Old in DeKalb By Disease in DeKalb in 1920
From the May 27, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illininois) "Looking Back."
1920, 100 Years Ago.
"Bernard Welstead, 5-year-old son of Claude Welstead of 120 Cotton Avenue, passed away last night at 9:30. The cause of his untimely death was the children's disease now prevailing, measles.
"It will be remembered that his mother, Mrs. Hazel Hetchler Welstead passed away from pneumonia about a year and a half ago."
And, the Spanish flu was still around as well.
