The Public Ledger, Tues., Jan. 6, 1891, pg. 6

Found Dead-Minerva Perkins, a Negro women about 45 years of age, was found 
dead in bed in a kitchen on Queen Street this morning. As she was a hard 
drinker and often drunk, it is presumed that she got on one of her sprees and 
going home drunk and having no fire she laid down and froze to death. Dr. 
George Maupin, the coroner, was notified, but after hearing the particulars, 
decided it was unnecessary to hold an inquest. She was buried at the expense 
of the city.
