(Oxford Leader, 12 Feb 1920)
The flu epidemic of 1920 claimed the lives of several members of this family

Mrs. Jake Drahner and Albert Jewell
Mrs. Jake Drahner, age 61 years, died at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Jewell, northeast of this village, where she had gone to take care of the entire
 family, five in all, who were ill with the influenza, when she contracted the
disease, dying Monday Feb. 9th.
As no help could be secured to look after the afflicted family during the trying
hours, Mr. Jewell who had not fully recovered from his illness, arose thinking
it was his duty to administer care to the rest of the family was stricken with
pneumonia, dying Tuesday.
Jewell was about 35 years of age, and was one of North Oxford's prosperous
farmers.  He is survived by a wife and three children who are dangerously ill at
this writing; also two sisters, Mrs. Frank Hibbler and Mrs. William Brode, and a
brother ... A double funeral was held Wednesday at 10:30 o'clock from the
