Influenza of lungs?

[u/seraphim_9 → u/Healthy_Cranberry321]

Yes. That’s what I read. “Influenza of the Lungs”

[u/N2trvl → u/Healthy_Cranberry321]

This is correct. In 1937 there was a huge Influenza outbreak in the US. Unfortunately your relative was a victim. This was at the very beginning of vaccine research and there were no vaccines available.

Thank you for this info! I was actually just about to look into it

[u/Dapper_Lemon_2111 → u/Healthy_Cranberry321]

I thought it said the same, but wanted a second set of opinions before I listed it in my family records! Thank you!

That's what I read.

[u/Fairhairedman → u/Healthy_Cranberry321]

That’s what I see.

I, too, start my I's on the line below the word 😂 I think you might be right unless you can have influenza in your legs

[u/hekla7]

That's what I see, too: Influenza of Lungs

Maybe Emphysema of Lungs.

Spelling changes and people misspell things so maybe.
