I wish I had an exact date, but have not been able to come up with anything. Silas and Viola Storm had a child who was born in Sept, 1913, so I would guess that Silas suffered his demise sometime between the early part of 1913 and the time of the 1920 census, when Viola was listed as a widow. I tried checking the Ill. death index but the early records (pre 1916) are mainly Chicago and Cook County, and there was nothing in the later records. Perhaps there is a death index for the county?
