From the October 1, 1898 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Chicago, Ill.–While leaning over a casket yesterday, taking a last look at the remains of a girl friend, Minnie Budolski fell forward over the casket and died instantly. Miss Budolski and Minnie Graef, her dear friend, had been constant companions since babyhood. A double funeral will now take place and the two girls, inseparable in life, will be buried side by side.”
