Cemetery

For this lab we traveled to the Riverside Cemetery and talked about some historical dates in Macon's history. We discussed people dying in 1918 due to the Spanish Flu. This was remarkable because this flu hit mostly adults around our age group rather than affecting the extremely old and young like most flus do.  It turns out that this flu hit this age group because soldiers coming back from the war had this bacteria and would spread it when they would "go out" on the weekends.
That being said, we looked for people in the cemetery who died in the year 1918. We also looked for people who died in the years 1900 and 2000 to compile data for population tables.
