Albertson home and claimed two of the children, Roy and Hazel. A precious little bud and a flower of young manhood were taken at the same time. The deceased ones contracted influenza Tuesday, February 3, 1920, which later developed into pneumonia. Everything that loving hand could do was done, and physicians with all their skill could not relieve the sufferers. They continued growing worse until the end came. It was not thought by the family that the aby was so bad until the warning was given that the young man was dying, when they turned to look at the baby and she was also dying. The bodies were taken to the Bower undertaking parlor and prepared for burial. Owing to the prevalence of influenza only a short open air service was held, which was conducted by rev. James daniels at the Goodland cemetery, Saturday afternoon.2
