"Mrs. Minnie Perkins, wife of Charley Perkins, died yesterday afternoon between 1 and 2 o'clock at the family home at 509 Short street. She had been ill only since morning, though her husband says she has bad symptoms of consumption for some time. No doctor was called until shortly before her death because it was not realized that she was seriously ill. Then Mr. Perkins telephoned for Dr. McDonald, and, failing to find him at his office, called Dr. Roberts, but she was dead ten minutes before he arrived. Deceased was a member of the Select Knights and Ladies of America and carried $1,000 life insurance in that order.
Minnie L. Perkins was born on August 19, 1872, being 28 years and six months old. She is survived by her husband and a three year old daughter. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from the house and interment will be made in Large cemetery, south of town."
