1918 pandemic
Isn't there a possibility that Germany Schaefer was killed by the Spanish Flu. He was suffering from TB and went to upstate New York, where the air was said to be cleaner, to recover. Schaefer died early in 1919 and who isn't to say that his condition wasn't exacerbated by the pandemic. And yes, I know that the Spanish Flu probably didn't originate in Spain.
