1895 Hot Springs
Smallpox Epidemic

“In the spring of 1895, a smallpox epidemic broke out in the national health spa of Hot Springs, Arkansas; a nation-wide panic ensued. Visitors avoided or fled the spa city, and with them the life blood of Hot Springs’ economy. Several factors including immigrant issues, economic conditions, the anti-vaccinationist movement, labor unrest, politics, and a host of weather and fire related misfortunes influenced the local public health response to this epidemic.”

Wayward Girls and Hard Boiled Sisters of Arkansas

“They lost their lives in the undercurrent of social reforms, advancements in medical technology, and dominance of courts in social and medical issues. Sadly, because society devalued them as human beings, many valuable young women of this era were simply lost.”
