~ FLU EPIDEMIC 1917 - 1918 ~
JCNYGS members Tom LaClair and Larry Corbett will delve into the Flu Epidemic of 1917 and 1918 that killed tens of millions of people across the world. The United States, the Empire State of New York, as well as Jefferson County were not spared. After the brief, members and guests of JCNYGS are invited to share stories of ancestors who died in this deadly epidemic.
The meeting is held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ives Street, Watertown, across from Immaculate Heart Central School (IHCS). Driving directions to the church are:
From Route 81, take exit 44 to Route 232 toward Watertown. Drive 1.1 miles and take the second left turn on to Ives Street Road. Continue straight into the city. The church is the second building on the right; across from IHCS.
From Watertown, it is on Ives Street, across from IHCS. Take Washington Street to Barben Avenue. Turn onto Barben Avenue and take it until it ends in a T. Turn left and the church building will be 300 yards on the left, just past IHCS. Or from Watertown, take Massey Street South; veer right onto South Massey and left onto Ives Street. The church building will be on your left, just past IHCS.
