The Yellow Fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1798 was a severe outbreak of the mosquito-borne viral disease that caused high fever, chills, and jaundice. It is believed to have originated from the Caribbean and spread to Philadelphia, which was then the capital of the United States.
The epidemic took a heavy toll on the population of Philadelphia, with the death count reaching thousands. It led to panic and fear among the citizens, with many fleeing the city to escape the disease. The outbreak overwhelmed the medical community and forced them to rely on community volunteers like Edward Garrigues to provide assistance and care to the sick.
During the epidemic, the disease spread rapidly, leaving few neighborhoods untouched. The authorities and volunteers struggled to provide relief to the sick and dying, with many people losing their entire families to the disease. The outbreak highlighted the vulnerability of the city and its residents to epidemics and the importance of adequate public health measures.
During this epidemic, Edward Garrigues kept a diary, highlights of which follow:
As the timeline shows, Edward Garrigues played an active role in providing care and support to those affected by the epidemic, often putting himself at risk. He visited the sick, helped organize relief efforts, and even tended to the dead. He also documented his experiences and the effects of the epidemic on the city in his diary, providing valuable insight into the outbreak's impact.
Eventually, as the cold weather set in, the mosquito population decreased, and the spread of the disease slowed. Many citizens who had fled the city began to return, hopeful that the worst of the epidemic was over. While the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1798 was devastating, it also served as a stark reminder of the importance of public health measures and the need for better preparedness for future outbreaks.
Following the Yellow Fever epidemic, Edward Garrigues was appointed president of the Philadelphia Board. Under his leadership, the board implemented a series of measures to prevent the spread of contagious diseases, ensuring the well-being of Philadelphia's citizens. Key actions taken by the Board of Health during Garrigues' presidency include:
Edward Garrigues continued to serve as president of the Philadelphia Board of Health into 1801. After his tenure, his younger brother, Benjamin Franklin Garrigues, took on the important role of Secretary of the Board of Health. The Garrigues family's commitment to public health and service to the community was evident in the work of both Edward and Benjamin, as they played crucial roles in the ongoing efforts to protect and promote the well-being of Philadelphia's residents.
The article at https://hiddencityphila.org/2013/07/three-centuries-and-countless-incarnations-in-paschalville/ seems to possibly refer to Edward Garrigues Sr. (1756-1845), but uses the alternate last name of Garrick. It appears the source for this alternate name is from A Walk to Darby[1], a very readable essay from 1879 which includes this line "To the rear of the church grounds is the old building now occupied by the family of Garrigues, who, perhaps, are of the same stock as was Garrick the great actor, who was of Huguenot extraction, the real name being Garrique," which is all true except for the minor detail that no actual connection between David Garrick (1716-1779) and the Philadelphia Garrigues family has ever been established.
