Hardy Elliott Dies of Dropsy of the Heart

Yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, Hardy Elliott dropped dead at his home at the mattress factory on South Ninth street.

Hardy was a well known and well liked negro, some 45 years of age, and had worked at the factory for some time. For several weeks he has been threatened with dropsy of the heart and many days was unable to work on account of his disease. Yesterday he worked all day long; stopping at 5 o'clock in the evening; went to his home close at hand and in a few minutes he fell and expired.

Justice Bayliss Eearle was notified and held an inquest. From the testimony of the physician he will tender a verdict to the effect that he died of dropsy of the heart.
