(Daughter) Census US 190011 June 1900Lottie was enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 11 June 1900 in the household of her parents in Bellevue Precinct, Sarpy County, Nebraska. She was 10 years old, able to read and write, and had attended school for 9 months of the census year.2 
Marriage*1 November 1905She married John Bugher, son of Isaiah Bugher and Emma Tree, on 1 November 1905 in Oconee, Platte County, Nebraska. They were married by the by Reverend Joseph W. Angell, pastor of the Presbyterian church.1 
Illness*28 November 1918 On Thanksgiving day, 28 November 1918, tragedy began for the family of Lottie and John Bugher of 4612 Thirty-Fifth Street, Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, when their whole family was stricken with the Spanish influenza. John recovered enough to care for his family and was obliged to remain at home to nurse them instead of going to his work at a packing house. Bertha, the couple's elder daughter, died of the Spanish influenza on December 5 and two days later, Earl, the couple's younger son, died of the same disease. Their mother, Lottie, died early Thursday morning, December 12, also of Spanish influenza. On 13 December, John was reported to be ill, and in the house of a neighbor, with tuberculosis of the throat and had only recently regained his voice. His son, George, who was 10 years old, was ill with Spanish influenza, and his daughter, Clara, who was 5 years old, was in Nicholas Senn hospital in Omaha with the disease.3 
Historical Note* The 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in history at its time. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919. In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in the Spring of 1918. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.

Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic. While the 1918 H1N1 virus has been synthesized and evaluated, the properties that made it so devastating are not well understood. With no vaccine to protect against influenza infection and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with influenza infections, control efforts worldwide were limited to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants, and limitations of public gatherings, which were applied unevenly.

The Bugher family of Omaha, Nebraska, even though the epidemic was raging in the fall of 1918, planned with the rest of the nation to celebrate Thanksgiving on 28 November 1918. There were parades, sporting events, "flag raisings" and family and friend gatherings everywhere, from small towns to cities. Many newspapers reported it was the "Best Thanksgiving in History."

100 years later, in our world, the COVID-19 epidemic, which began to be recognized internationally in early 2020, has cast a long and persistent shadow over Thanksgiving and other family and national events. For a variety of reasons, though, the Spanish influenza didn't have a similar effect in 1918 on Thanksgiving or on subsequent holidays.

“The Great War” had ended two weeks earlier, and as University of Pennsylvania historian David Barnes pointed out, since this was the war to end all wars, World War II wasn’t yet a gleam in the national eye. And while the Spanish influenza was still killing, it appeared to be in retreat. Historian Kenneth C. Davis wrote that the national attitude was “We have a lot to be thankful for. The war is over, we’re still alive.” And he added that by Thanksgiving, people were eager to forget an epidemic they didn’t quite understand in the first place. Celebration was just what everyone needed!

Separated by almost exactly 100 years, the Spanish influenza and COVID-19 pandemics are both different and similar. They both induced specific degrees of denial, and each struck fear and apprehension in the hearts and minds of people around the world. While the Spanish influenza pandemic and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are not one and the same as viruses, the means by which they spread, and the overall reactions of society display some common features.

Those people living during the time of the Spanish influenza were divided into two camps about wearing masks, social distancing, personal hygiene and taking other protective measures – those wanting to protect themselves and to take measures to slow the spread of disease, and those wanting the right to choose what and what not to do, in order to protect their personal liberties. In the time of the Spanish influenza, the two main arguments against masks were that wearing one would alarm others into believing a mask-wearer was infected with the disease and, second, that wearing a mask was an impediment to smoking.4,5,6
