    • Residence: 1900, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA; 7736 Dobson
    • Residence: 1910, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA; 7736 Dobson - Divorcedhas never had any children

    Notes:

    Birth:
    77 Fisk Street (Ward 6) - midwife Mary Talafus of 642 May Street - third child of mother -- Death record has date as 23 Jan but birth record definitely shows 25 (compare 5 to 3 on prior line for number of child: it is clearly NOT 23)

    Buried:
    death certificate shows burial at St. Mary's - there is also a stone for her and her half-sister Rosie at Oakwoods

    Died:
    4702 Grand Boulevard

    Mary married - first husband of Mary Kolar - before 1910 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA. - was born about 1883. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Married:
    Mary shows as Divorced in 1910 census, never having had any children and living with her mother and sisters -- the best candidate marriage was 21 Apr 1906 to James A Strdoskj (he 23, she 20), but I cannot find him in 1910 census

    Mary married Bernard WAGNER on 14 Jun 1911 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA. Bernard was born on 17 Aug 1882 in Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Married:
    This is definitely the right Mary Kolar since her death certificate (as Mary Wagner wife of Bernard) shows her parents as James Kolar and Barbora Sedlacek.
