Boone 11-Year-Old Girl Dies of Flu, Feb. 1919

“Little Danford Spaulding Dies” from the Feb. 6, 1919, issue of The Watauga Democrat


On last Saturday, after a protracted illness, following an attack of influenza, little Danford Spaulding, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Spaulding, died at the home of her parents in East Boone. The little girl was eleven years old, bright, attractive and a general favorite with those who knew her best. 

She was buried in the town cemetery Sunday afternoon, the funeral being conducted by the Rev. H.L. Powell. The fond parents, who are almost heartbroken, have the deep sympathy of their friends in this, their deep sorrow.
