Can anybody tell me if there is an actual casualty list for victims of the Spanish Flu in Seattle, WA?

Question

My great grandpa, John Roy Holloway who married Effie Yeates and had a 3 mo. old son, John Daniel, might be on that list.

I don't find your John in this site.. but am sending anyway, if you have family in Washington.  Looks like a great index. The death records don't (yet) go back that far.

I doubt there will be an independent list just for flu victims, since that was a epidemic type thing.  No reason that they would be limited to one cemetery.  I tried to see if I could pull up a ww1 draft card via ancestry, but no luck.

If your family info says son was 3 months old.. then you can pretty much estimate the month.  Did mom remarry before the census? am having trouble locating either son or mom.

Answer 2

Go to or call your local health department. If it has been around long enough, they may have case lists of people that died back then. If it hasn't, they might be able to point you in the right direction. Usually there's some geek epidemiologist, like me, that really treasures such info.

Answer 3

never heard of it.  good luck
