Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch February 28, 1910
The body of Minnie Cooke, or Minnie Combs, which was found in a vacant room at 
202 Cove street Saturday evening about 6:30 o’clock, is still at the city 
morgue, and, unless relatives of the dead woman provide for a funeral, it will 
be buried by the city tomorrow afternoon. No inquest will be held, as Coroner 
Kight, who viewed the body soon after it was found, came to the conclusion that 
the woman died from natural causes.
It is said that Minnie Cooke, or Combs, was last seen alive last Saturday at 
noon, when she complained of feeling badly and went upstairs to a vacant room, 
where she was found later by a negro servant. Empty bottles and cigarette stumps 
were lying around the room. It is claimed that the woman had three children and 
that one of them was run over and killed by a train in Portsmouth some time ago.
