The Jersey Journal recently published a series “Remembering Saints of An Earlier Epidemic” by John Gomez about heroes of the Spanish Flu Epidemic in 1918. I discovered both my grandfather Dr. J. Howard Gould and his sister Marjorie Gould, both of whom lived in Bayonne, are mentioned in the series. Dr. Gould was one of the physicians who treated flu patients, and was “stricken” himself.
Marjorie is pictured below in a photograph of Red Cross ambulance volunteers. She died shortly after contracting the flu in October 2018. I’m proud to see both their names in print 102 years later.
