In Rexburg, ID during the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918-19 the family of Will and Libby Stowell also faced the 1919 Financial Crash. They faced many challenges with great courage and faith. After the war came the terrible financial crash of 1919. Their children’s savings bonds were lost. Everything but their new home was swept away. Their business partner took out bankruptcy and that left Will deeply in debt. About the same time, the Studebaker Co. went out of business, and Will was left jobless with a wife and five children but Will promised his creditors to pay every cent if only given time. He always felt that he was greatly blessed to be able to clear himself and firmly believed that paying tithing gave him wisdom to use what money was left from his salary to the best advantage. Libby wrote in her history, "They seemed dark days but so long as we had each other, the children and our health we couldn't be discouraged and hope was with us. These were really hard times and to make things worse, the terrible flu epidemic raged and many friends and relatives were stricken.” Libby’s only brother, Jake, died January 11, 1919. The service was held in the deep snow in the cemetery but people were so afraid that no public funerals were held.
