Diana Rose Howard, 3, died Sunday in St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lafayette of burns received in a fire at her home in Attica on May 7.
She was the second child of the family to die as a result of the blaze which swept the bedroom where four children were sleeping. Her brother, Michael, 2, died a few hours after the fire.
Two others, Theresa, 1, and Dennis, 4, have been released from the hospital.
The blaze ignited the family residence at 1111½ Perry Street, Attica, after an oil heating stove exploded.
Diana is survived by her parents, Archie and Sybil Nunnelly Howard, and her brother and sister. Graveside rites were conducted Monday in the Riverside Cemetery with the Rev. Harry Campbell officiating. - jz
