Laverne: Cook county has a vital records database online - have you searched it? If not, there is a death record for Barbra (d. 8 Nov. 1933)- you can order the certificate online for a modest fee. There are two other Vigratz(s): Frank died 2 Jan 1929 and John, died 23 Nov. 1933. If you need a link, just advise.

Barbara's obit appeared in the "Chicago Daily Tribune", 10 Nov. 1933, pg. 30:

VIGRATZ - Barbara Vigratz, wife of the late Alexander Vigratz, fond mother of Elizabeth Ford, Catherine Suchan and Emma Smith. Funeral Saturday 9 a.m. from late residence, 1824 S. Peoria st. to Sacred Heart Church, 19th and Peoria st. Interment St. Casimir Cemetery.

There is also an obit for Alexandria FORD (nee Vigratz), wife of Thomas FORD. It appeared in "The Chicago Tribune" edition of 14 Feb. 1966, pg. C10. If you want particulars, just advise.

You might want to contact St. Casimir Cemetery, here is a link to contact info:

Note that there are two listings, one for St. Casimir Catholic Cemetery and one for St. Casimir Lithuanian Cemetery. You may have all of this but thought I would pass it on in case you don't.........Rick
