Mrs. Boone, 100 year-old resident of Mobile, tells how her family was the only family in a small rural Alabama area that did not contract the flu during the 1918 flu outbreak. Mrs. Boone's family all became responders in her community. Her parents become instant nurses and she delivered soup to the door of ill families.

1918 Flu Pandemic Oral History - 100 Year Old Remembers

In 2007, on my great uncle's 100th birthday, I interviewed him for several hours. While we discussed many things over those hours, I've always remembered his story about surviving the 1918 flu pandemic. While times may have been different, hopefully hearing how he and his family practiced social distancing and quarantining - and survived - will be helpful now.
My great uncle passed away at 105 years old in 2013. An inspiration to all who knew him.

The 1918 influenza pandemic was one of the earliest, and perhaps the most traumatic experience to date, in the life of Mrs. Williams, age 91, of Selma, Alabama. That's because her father, a jeweler, contracted the disease and became very ill. Even though she was a very young child, her father's serious illness remains an indelible memory.
Ann Brantley, R.N., of the Alabama Department of Public Health conducted the interview on March 21, 2007, and it was recorded by the Video Communications Division of the ADPH.
