EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third and final installment of a multi-part series on the impact of the 1918 Pandemic on Matagorda County.
As you will read, the disease affected lots of residents.
“Flu” flu in on the Tribune force from delivery boy to the editor this week and up to the present writing it has refused to flu out. We are doing all we possibly can under the circumstances and ask our readers to bear with us until we get going again. Those who have had it will understand this and grant us anything we might want.
