FOR RELEASE SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 2014, AT 1:52 A.M. EST - In this Feb. 21, 2014 photo, a monument memorializing the Yellow Fever victims of 1888-1889 stands in a corner of the H. Warren Smith Cemetery at the intersection of Beach Blvd. and Penman Road in Jacksonville Beach, Fla. It’s been more than a century since the state’s worst yellow fever epidemic swept through Jacksonville, killing about 450 people and infecting about 4,700 more. The outbreak was so bad it prompted nearly every city in the South to ban Jacksonville residents from seeking refuge. (AP Photo/The Florida Times-Union, Bob Self)
