Not to detract from the original subject, I thought I would share items of two victims of the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic.
Card signed by Martin Sheridan. He competed in the 1904 and 1908 Olympic Games and the 1906 Intercalated Games. He won 3 golds and a bronze in the Olympic games in field events - discus and long jump. He won 3 golds and two silvers in 1906 field events - discus, shot put, high jump, long jump. He died March 27, 1918. The NYPD medal for valor was named for him until 1973. Sheridan, Martin (1906).jpg Marc Larimer - graduated from the Naval Academy in 1912. Competed in fencing at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. He was an officer aboard the USS Cummings during WWI. After returning from Europe he was assigned to Cuba and died aboard the USS Montgomery in Guantanamo Bay February 6, 1919. Two RPPC's sent by him from the 1912 Olympics to his mother and probably brother. He the 2nd from the left in the group photo. Fourth from the left is Nedo Nadi. One of the greatest Olympic fencers, he is the only person to win gold in all three disciplines in a single Olympics - foil épée and sabre. Larimer-1.jpg larimer-2.jpg
