The Story: Carlos died when he was about seven from the Spanish influenza.
Recuerdo: Zenaida Valenzuela Franco stated in a 2004 interview that in Terlingua as the influenza took hold the number of dead was so large that it overwhelmed everyone. There were so many funerals that the people no longer would go to the funerals. Zenaida was nine years old at the time. If you have comments on the Spanish Influenza (or anything else) you may discuss it at this link.
