\n \nMy father, Robert Knight Allen, was about 7 years old (born in August 1911) the summer the pandemic flu hit Provo, Utah, where he lived. He and his four brothers (Eugene, Knight, Mark, and Joseph) were all ill, and were confined to a semi\u2013enclosed (screened) \u201csummer porch\u201d attached to the house where they would get some fresh air. My father said that as he and his brothers lay there on the porch, they could hear the horse\u2013drawn hearse going back\u2013and\u2013forth continuously, day and night, taking the dead to the cemetery. Fortunately, all five of the Allen brothers survived.
