   There was a great plague around this district and other districts in the year 1918 after the world war. Many people lost their lives, and whole families were down together. There was this family very bad. Everybody about the surrounding district were more or less afraid to go in the house stricken with it. This family- no one would go near them and they all died. Old people were the ones who mostly had it and they were not cared for and they died.
