Detroit s 1918 holiday season was fairly average Ours won t be

Detroit s 1918 holiday season was fairly average. Ours won t be. Darcie Moran, Detroit Free Press A mother, having lost her husband to the pandemic two weeks prior, found herself at the mercy of a Wayne County probate court on Christmas Eve, trying to get access to $680 in the bank for Christmas. “Last Christmas my husband filled the stockings. I thought, maybe – ” she stopped short while addressing a court worker. The woman wasn’t named in the Detroit Free Press’ Christmas Day newspaper in 1918, when her story first ran in a brief entry several pages in, while returning World War I soldiers relayed tales of female German gunners, aghast, on the front page. But a little over 100 years after influenza and pneumonia took her spouse, the woman’s story echoes in a different year of pandemic woes and economic concerns, even as the holidays are set to look starkly different.
