Wilson County Post Office Crippled by Flu, Dec. 10, 1918

From the Hickory Daily Record, Dec. 10, 1918

Post Office Force Crippled by Flu

With Messrs. J. Lewis Bolick and Garland Bolick seriously ill, the latter having pneumonia, with Mr. Homer Bowman in bed with a second case of flu, and Mr. N.A. Yount, carrier on Route 5, and Mr. Hugh Yount, substitute, ill with the disease, and Mr. A.L. Deal barely able to be out, and Mr. Guy Cline compelled to help nurse a sick child, the post office force is in a bad way still. Mr. R.L. Hefner, assistant postmaster, is taking Mr. Yount’s route and others in the office are doubling up in order to dispatch the business. Mr. J. Lewis Bolick is very ill and Mr. Garland Bolick’s chances of recovery are no more than even.
