Karen, I would write to the Cook County Clerk David Orr. The Coroner Inquest records only go up to 1911 at Northeastern IRAD office, so your best best would be David Orr. You can conatct him at http://www.cookcountyclerk.com/Pages/default.aspx  or Cook County Clerk David Orr 69 W. Washington, Suite 500 Chicago, IL 60602  Bill
