From a Google search on: inhalational anthrax "last case"

http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/anthrax/disease_rec.html

The last case of inhalational anthrax in the United States, before 2001, was in 1976 in California. A home craftsman died of the disease. He was exposed through his work with yarn; Bacillus anthracis was isolated from some of the imported yarns used by the patient.
