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 the gravestone identified with the surname of "(RILEY) REILLY" on her memorial #181275332, her husband Michael James Reilly on his memorial #180975360 and his sister Winifred Woolley (née Reilly) on her memorial #162205498. Winifred Woolley's (née Reilly) Irish birth certificate, which I (Bob Stanker) have a certified copy of, reflects her birth/maiden surname as "Reilly", the surname of her father as "Reilly" with her mother's signature (as informant) as "Bridget Reilly" and traces the original "Reilly" surname back to Ireland in the year 1891.
