Le Madawaska La main de Dieu s’est abattue sur notre population. Grand est le nombre des familles quiont vu partir qui une mere, qui un pere, qui des freres, qui des soeurs. Les vides sont nombreux et le denil regne partout. Peu sont les familles qui n’ont pas ete eprouvees. Jamais un pareil fleau a visite notre pays. L’epidemie semble avoir ete apportee ici par un train de soldats venu de la nouvelleEcosse. Le train parti avec un contingent de 500 (cinq cents) soldats tous en bonne sante arrive a Edmundston le 26 (vingt six) Septembre avec six soldats souffrant d’influenza. [After arriving in Edmundston by train, across the St. John River from the Maine town of Madawaska, September 26, 1918, six soldiers were suffering from influenza.] Le Madawaska (based in Edmunston, New Brunswick) covers French speaking communities in northern Maine.) |
