Am not related but may be of interest to someone who is. Clearly a candidate for scholarship at a Title IX oriented school. Unfortunately, B-ball wasn’t invented until about 30 years later. As the saying goes, “Timing is everything” :>)

I have no further info but additional newspaper extracts may be found at URL:

A GIANTESS -- Miss Silvia HARDY, 23 years of age, and 7 feet in hight (sic), is to arrive from the East on the next steamer. She is spoken of as a beautiful and accomplished little creature, born and raised in Tioga county, New York. She has been certainly well raised.
