Ilva Hardy
Oct 15, 1888 - Feb 12, 1899
Burned to Death
Corsicana, Tex., Feb 12. - Just after the family of Judge Rufus Hardy had arisen from bed this morning a terrible accident occurred in the family room, resulting in the fatal burning of Judge Hardy's 10-year-old daughter, Ilza, the sever burning of Mrs. Hardy and Miss Nan Earl Hardy, while Judge Hardy was himself slightly burned. There was a bright coal fire burning in the grate and little Ilza, who had just jumped out of bed, ran up to the fire clad in a union suit and her night gown. While she was standing by the fire her gown was in some way brushed in contact with it and in an instant was in a bright blaze and the flames quickly communicated to the union suit underneath. Mrs. Hardy and the judge sprang quickly to the child and in their efforts to extinguish the blaze Mrs. Hardy was severely burned about both hands and the judge himself painfully scorched. Miss Nan Earl Hardy, another child of Judge Hardy, was also slightly burned.
Before the burning garments of little Ilza could be extinguished she was horribly burned from her feet up, her injuries being of such a nature that the physicians who were called in pronounced them fatal, and it was expected the little sufferer could not live throughout the day. The little body was a terrible sight and the child's suffering was intense.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the child still lived, but the physicians said that as soon as a reaction set in she would pass away. At 2 o'clock she began to rapidly grow worse and about 2:30 this afternoon she died.
February 13, 1899
Little Ilva Hardy Buried
Corsicana, Tex., Feb. 13. - At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon little Ilza Hardy, the child of Judge and Mrs. Rufus Hardy, who was burned to death yesterday at the Hardy residence, was buried at Oakwood Cemetery, the funeral being attended by a large concourse of people. Mrs. Hardy, Miss Nan Earl Hardy and the judge, who also suffered from burns sustained while endeavoring to extinguish the burning clothing of little Ilza, are getting along very nicely.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the
residence for Miss Felecia Hardy, aged 43 years, daughter of Judge and
Mrs. Rufus Hardy, who died Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, following
an illness of several days. The services were conducted by Rev. H. J.

funeral. A large number of friends of the family and of the deceased
gathered at the home of the services and followed the body of this
beloved young woman to her last resting place, where the casket was
literally hidden from view by the great profusion of beautiful flowers,
those silent tokens of esteem and love that aid materially in assuaging
the grief of those loved ones left behind.
Surviving this popular young woman are her heart-broken parents, Judge
and Mrs. Rufus Hardy; one brother, Rufus Hardy, Jr, of Dallas; three
sisters, Mrs. R. N. Holloway and Mrs. Helen Holmes, Corsicana; and Mrs.
Mildred Taggart, Chevychase, Md., and other relatives.
The untimely death of Miss Hardy has cast a pall of gloom over a wide
circle of friends over a wide circle of friends in Corsicana and many
tears were mingled with those of her family at her passing. She was of a
quiet, unassuming and sweet disposition and made and held friends
wherever she met them. She was not only popular in Corsicana her home
town, but also in the national capital, Washington, where she resided
with her parents for many years while her distinguished father
represented the district in the congress of the United States for many
years, he retiring voluntarily several years ago and the family
returning to their old home here to reside.
