I have three Chicago abortion deaths on November 11:
In 1909, homemaker Marian Lang, age 29, died her home on N. 52nd Avenue in Chicago, from septicemia caused by an abortion. Dr. E. L. Pope was indicted by a grand jury. The source document does not indicate that the case went to trial. (Death certificate; Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)
In 1916, 28-year-old homemaker Margaret "Elizabeth" Winter died at her Chicago home from sepsis caused by an abortion perpetrated by Cecelia Stejskal, whose profession is given only as "abortion provider." Census records indicate that she was a midwife. Though Stejskal was held by the coroner, the case never went to trial. (Death certificate, Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)
In 1929, 23-year-old Mary Louise Kelly died in Chicago from an abortion performed by an unidentified perpetrator. (Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)
