  from "The Leavenworth Standard", 13 Apr 1894 (newspapers.com) George F. Perkins, son of H. C. Perkins of the city engineer's office, died at 10 last night of paralysis. He was about 34 years old and leaves a wife and little son. Notice of the funeral will be given later. For nine years Mr. Perkins was telegraph operator at the Chicago board of trade. He was a faithful man and worked himself almost to death. What is known as “operator’s paralysis” set in and he was compelled early last winter to leave the place he had so long occupied. He came to Leavenworth on a visit to his father in the hope of improving his health, but he steadily grew worse. The wife and son are here. from "The Topeka State Journal", 13 Apr 1894 (newspapers.com) George F. Perkins, aged 38 years, a patient at the State insane asylum, died this morning of brain softening. He was once a member of the Chicago board of trade. The remains were shipped to his home in Leavenworth for burial.
