Sounds like the 1918 Flu.

Subject: epidemic-related mass burials

Does anyone have knowledge of specific burial methods for
epidemic-related deaths?  We have at least 5 trenches oriented
north/south with bodies placed in an extended position (this is circa
1920) in a row head to foot.  This is in Sacramento and would have been
associated with the historic Sacramento County Hospital, which is no
longer extant.
