A Proclamation
By The Mayor
Of Seguin

    The prevailing epidemic of Influenza makes it necessary that extra precautions be taken to prevent the spread of this dread disease, and upon advice of the City Health Officer, I issue the following:

"By virtue of authority vested in me as Mayor, I hereby order that
all Picture Shows, Schools, Lodges and Churches be closed, and
in fact all public gatherings be prohibited untill such time as the
improvement of conditions shall warrant a supension of this order."

Chas. Bruns, Mayor
Seguin, Texas
October 25, 1918

Note: Another article said that the Worldwide influenza epidemic had
killed 22 million people.
