She was dead by 1 Jun 1905. I'd check with the Kenosha County Clerk's Office about the death certificate. Wisconsin was good at keeping them at that time. If you don't find it in Kenosha Co, then check out Milwaukee or Lake Co IL
Here's the only death of anyone named Frederika or a variant of who died in Kenosha Co in 1905 and is on the Wisconsin Death Index. There's a possibility this is her maiden name...not uncommon to be reported that way. It's off 28 days from the date you have, but it's possible. You'd have to get the Clerk's Office to verify it.
Name: Frederica Schmorrow
Death Date: 20 Feb 1905

Answer:
Hi Judy,
I remember from one of your earlier questions Gustav Spitzbart's immigration record lists his Uncle as Henry Rohr living in Chicago in 1903. I found this record but wasn't sure if it was your Henry Rohr however the answer above confirms his wife's surname is Whiteside.
