     The online encyclopedia, Wikipedia reports:
"Encephalitis lethargica (EL) is an atypical form of encephalitis. Also known as sleeping sickness (though different from the sleeping sickness transmitted by the tsetse fly), EL is a devastating illness that swept the world in the 1920s and then vanished as quickly as it had appeared. First described by the neurologist Constantin von Economo in 1916, EL attacks the brain, leaving some victims in a statue-like condition, speechless and motionless.[1] Between 1917 and 1928, an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica spread throughout the world, but no recurrence of the epidemic has since been reported, though isolated cases continue to occur.[2] During the outbreak over 5 million died from disease-related causes."

     I remembered you mentioning that Victoria May (Vamplew) Hudson and her twin brother Albert Edward Vamplew needed to have their birth date cleared up as one was listed as being born in 1894 and the other in 1895. I have talked to Gladys (Hudson) Allen. She says the correct birth date is May 24th 1895 (sic). She also says at the time the twins were born they were named by the local newspaper. Presumably their names came from their month of birth and Queen Victoria and her Albert. Neat story eh?¹⁰
