Note: Bill McLennan said Michael bought his mothers house and has made many changes to the place.

Note: Just as Chicago was emerging as a major city, a devastating fire (Oct. 8-9, 1871) swept through part of the city, leaving almost 100,000 people homeless and causing millions of dollars in damage. The city embarked on a rebuilding program, using stone to replace wooden buildings and creating one of the first modern fire departments in America.

Note: The Late Kenneth Bailey wrote to say that he had a letter written by James Alsop - to his daughter Sarah - saying he was in Chicago Illinois "to patent the worlds first propeller of power." After the devastating "Great Fire of Chicago" swept through part of the city in 1871 James was never heard of again . (DVL Note: We have since established that James left Glossop and joined his older brother John in Illinois. After the death circa 1855 of his first wife, Hannah Hadfield, James married to Mary Ann Malson, 17 February 1857 in DeWitt Co, IL and later married Eliza (Stallman), on 2 November 1861 in DeWitt Co, IL. Their children were Anna Alsop born 1864 in Illinois Sherman Ulysses S Alsop born April 1868 in Illinois, Harriet S Alsop born February 1869. James' descendants, and the descendants of his brother John, are still living in the United States.)

Note: Bill McLennan worked as a clerk in Australian Public Service and retired in August 1980 at age 65. Bill wrote on the 2nd of April 1980 saying "the McLennan trace the origins back to the Kings of Tara in Ireland. St Columba, who brought Christianity to Iona in the Island of Mull near Oban, was a McLennan as also was St Colman so the record is rather fascinating. I have been to McLennan country, Kintail, in the Kyle of Loch Ailsh, the place is rather beautifully rugged."

INFLUENZA
Approximately every 10 years, influenza pandemics have been caused by new strains of type-A virus. Epidemics, or regional outbreaks, have appeared every 2 to 3 years for influenza A and every 4 to 5 years for influenza B. The pandemic of 1918-19 is estimated to have killed 21-22 million people throughout the world. More than 500,000 deaths were recorded in the United States; 4,600 people died in Philadelphia alone during the third week of October 1918. About 30,000 people in the U.S. Army died from influenza, and about 5,000 in the U.S. Navy.
