The Lafayette Advertiser, Vermilionville, Lafayette Parish, LA. May 9, 1874
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-A Lady Burnt To Death.-One of the most shocking accidents
that has ever been our lot to record, happened at Carencro, in this parish, on
Friday the 1st of May. The victim was a young lady, wife of our estimable
parishioner, Pierre Bernard; whilst Mrs. B. was washing some clothing near the
fire-place, the back part of her dress took fire and in a few moments her entire
body was enveloped in flames, she immediately rushed from the house into the
yard, and before anyone could go to her assistance she was burnt to death.
