Pete PierroyPete Pierroy worked for Al Huble in September of 1919 when he and Emmet (Shortie) Haynes hauled in oats off the fields. Al Huble's son, Sam remembers Pete Pierroy a native man, who attended Annie and the kids when they had the flu right at the end of the First World War. Sam stated, "He saved their lives". Apparently, Annie was alone with the kids at the Huble homestead and could not even get firewood (in the middle of the winter) or milk the cows. It has been documented that the flu epidemic of 1918 was malignant and spread like wild fire taking victims everywhere, especially the Nechako Valley. The people in some communities were left unable to make enough coffins graves, as they were all more or less attacked by this flu. In one village, fourteen dead were buried in trenches in one day.
