On This Date in Minnesota History: October 13

October 13, 1918 – “By Oct. 12, hundreds of new cases and a dozen or so deaths were being reported in Minneapolis each day. The city’s health commissioner ordered all churches, schools, dance halls and theaters closed, beginning Sunday, Oct. 13. In the end, the [Spanish] flu killed 650,000 Americans, more than 10,000 in Minnesota.”
