Obituary:
FOUR DEATHS
In one Family in less than a week from "Flu"
Four children of late Rev. Darnall died and their Mother not expected to live. The family of the entire county that has been most sorely afflicted as the result of Spanish influenza is that of the late Rev. J.R.B. Darnall, of Linton district.
The entire family of eight have been down with the disease, and scarcely nobody to wait on them. On last Friday, as son, Perkins Darnall, aged about 21-years fell a victim of the problem. One Saturday a sister, Miss Ello Darnall passed away, and on Sunday a younger sister, Naomi, aged 12-years, breathed her last.
Mrs. Robert (Martha Darnall) Dill, a married daughter died yesterday morning, and Mrs. Darnall, the mother of these four has developed a severe case of pneumonia, and slight hopes are entertained for her recovery.
The disease has been more severe in this section than any other portion of the county, hardly a family in the whole neighborhood but has had trouble, and to secure any one to wait on those who are sick has been almost impossible.
Rev. Darnall who died several years ago, was a well known minister of the Primitive Baptist Church, and many friends throughout Trigg and other neighboring counties will regret to hear of the deep sorrow and bereavement that has come to his splendid family.
Perkins Darnall leaves a wife, who was a Miss Dixon before their marriage.

Ello, her mother, three other siblings and a sisters newborn baby, all died from the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1818. Most dies in the same week.
