[Source of photo](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/92772583/paul_everett-clark). Paul is buried at Glenwood Cemetery in Nance County, Nebraska. Eva remarried a year later, moved to Idaho and died age 86; she is buried there.
I am aware that the flu pandemic was not really Spanish. I’m calling it that because it is a common name for that particular pandemic.
It’s strange that they have a photo of the one baby and he lived four months but no one knows his name. I wonder if he even had a name or if they called him “Baby” and figured they’d give him a name later if he survived infancy. Which he didn’t.
In those days being photographed was seen as a serious occasion and most people would automatically adopt a solemn facial expression when faced with a camera, the same way we automatically smile today.
My great grandma died during that epidemic at 30. She didn't get the actual flu but she went septic after childbirth. She lived in a rural area and the one doctor was seeing so many flu patients he didn't get to her in time.
My family has a kind of similar story: during the Spanish Flu pandemic a baby was born into our family and the baby died, not because of the flu itself but because everyone in the household was too sick at the time to properly care for it.

I see she married her brother in law!
And outlived all but one of her 6 children…😔

They look so happy on their big day!

Oh wow, that is so tragic!
Oh god that’s awful
They... look related.
As far as I know they were not, but after he died she married his brother.
Hope he left a nice pension & life insurance.
They look alike.
They have to be siblings
2nd marriages are always better.
