N.B. The spelling of the Reilly/Riley surname was interchangeably used, as to the north side and the south side relatives of the same Irish Chicago family lineage, over the years since the family immigration to the United States in the very early 1900s. Reference the gravestone of May Reilly, née Woolley, with her gravestone identified with a surname of "(RILEY) REILLY" on memorial #181275332, her husband Michael James Reilly on memorial #180975360 and his sister Winifred Woolley, née Reilly, on memorial #162205498. Winifred Woolley's (née Reilly) Irish birth certificate, which I (Bob Stanker) have a certified copy of, reflects her birth/maiden surname and the surname of her father as "Reilly" and traces the original "Reilly" surname back to Ireland in the year 1891.

Parents: James & Anne, née Brennan, Woolley-both of County Mayo, Ireland. Siblings: May Reilly Memorial # 181275332. Immigrated 1913. Naturalized March 4, 1921. Married Winifred Reilly June 25, 1919 at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Catholic Church, 708 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago, IL. Chicago Police Department. Interred Apr 22, 1931 age 38 yrs.

Brother/sister Michael James Reilly and Winifred Reilly married sister/brother May Woolley and Michael Francis Woolley. For clarity, be careful not to confuse the two Michaels in these two marriages.

Michael Woolley, beloved husband of Winifred (née Reilly); fond father of James, Catherine ("Nancy") and Michael; loving brother of Edward, Patrick, Leo and Mrs. May Reilly. Funeral Wednesday, April 22, at 9:30am from late residence, 2140 S Millard Avenue, Chicago, Il, to Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Interment Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Alsip, Il. (Chicago Daily News Monday, April 20, 1931.)
