AnnMarie,
I found a great website that gives you free access to Chicago Tribune death notices going back to 1860! It is not complete but from the 12 names that you asked about, I easily found 9 of them.
1) Go to http://infoweb.newsbank.com/http://infoweb.newsbank.com/, and enter 'guest' for both your login and password.
2) Click "America's Obituaries & Death Notices".
3) Start searching.
If you are using this website from a library or university which already subscribes to NewsBank, then you may be restricted to those portions of NewsBank which they subscribe to.If so, then just try it from someone's home computer or ask the institution if they can improve their subscription.
Let me know if you have trouble finding any of those 9 names.
Sincerely,
Bob Murphy
