Join us for a deep dive into how the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918 profoundly impacted the life of one local family with Pam Pracser Anderson, MS, CG^®. Minnie Compton Jackson, her husband, two daughters, and grandchildren are just one example of how this disease affected an entire Franklin County family over a short ten-year period. Examining the Jackson family helps others whose grandparents or great-grandparents lived through this period of history, understand that those who died were not the only ones impacted.
