She penned additional notes about Juana Maria after her article was published in Scribner's Monthly in 1880.

			Her niece, Elizabeth Mason, penned a foreword to her article on Juana Maria in a later reprint edition of the story:

			: “In the year 1876, my aunt, Mrs. Emma Hardacre, came to Santa Barbara. The story of the Indian woman who had been brought to this quiet pueblo in 1853 from the island of San Nicholas, where she had been alone for eighteen years, was still fresh in the minds of many residents, who were eager to relate their recollections of the exciting event to a much interested newcomer. All that was gathered by her was eventually shifted and winnowed down to the very human and appealing story of the reduced woman, who after so many years of solitude, lived such a short time to enjoy her new and sympathetic friends in what to her was a wonderful village.”

	Hardacre visited Santa Barbara several times before moving there for the last 35 years of her life. She died a widow at age 86 in her home at 313 West Pedregosa Street. Cause of death was cerebral apoplexy and atherosclerosis.		Hardacre visited Santa Barbara several times before moving there for the last 35 years of her life.

	For fifteen years no boat could be secured to take the rescue journey of seventy miles. The "gold" excitement brought sailors and craft to California, and in 1851, a mission father of Santa Barbara, by payment of $250 succeeded in securing a craft to search the island. The father had never ceased his prayers that the abandoned one might be preserved until help reached her, but as year after year passed the probability of her death was accepted by all those who knew the circumstances.

			'''HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE CALIFORNIA FEMALE ROBINSON CRUSOE'''

			The story briefly is this. Each fact corroborated personally by a research covering thirty years.

			A woman living alone on one of the Santa Barbara Islands, for over eighteen years, was found by a party of seal hunters, and brought to Santa Barbara in 1853. She died shortly after, and her identity has never been established. It has been supposed that she was an Indian from the fact that thirty Indians, comprising the total population, had been removed from the Island in 1835 and brought to San Gabriel to be instructed by the Mission fathers. A woman jumped overboard during the confusion of embarking and returned to the island. The storm necessitated her captain at that time, and the boat (this only one on the coast) was wrecked after landing the Indians (on the next trip to San Francisco), thereby preventing the intended search for the missing woman.

			For fifteen years no boat could be secured to take the rescue journey of seventy miles. The "gold" excitement brought sailors and craft to California, and in 1851, a mission father of Santa Barbara, by payment of $250 succeeded in securing a craft to search the island. The father had never ceased his prayers that the abandoned one might be preserved until help reached her, but as year after year passed the probability of her death was accepted by all those who knew the circumstances. The Captain reported that he found no trace of occupation on San Nicholas [sic] and thus the matter was settled. His reports of five otter fishing in the vicinity of this distant and mostly unknown Island, ___ one Captain Nidever of Santa Barbara to go with his own boat and a crew of ___ mariners the following year on an otter hunt.
