Doing genealogy, I found I also have a relative that died in 1918 from the flu pandemic. This was in fact in Kansas (surprised to see Kansas mentioned in the article).
This photo was her high school graduation photo. Within a year she would be 1) married, 2) have a daughter, 3) die from the influenza pandemic one day after her husband.
Her daughter would be raised by her grandparents, and go on to have a large family....
