Lillian Catherine Forster1 [Lillian Katherine Cecelia Forster2].

Lillian was born at home, so no birth certificate was recorded.  The Forster family bible records her birth as "Lillian Kathering Cecelia", although throughout life she did not use the name "Cecelia" and always spelled her second name as "Catherine".3  

Born Apr 24 1918, at her parents' home, 7621 Morgan St., Chicago, Cook County, Illinois; 1 A.M.1,2,3,4,5,6  

She married Jack Wendell Hinshaw, June 9 1939.2,3  Jack Wendell Hinshaw, son of Walter A. Hinshaw & Natalia Ann Doty, was born Mar 31 1916, McLean County, Illinois.6,7  

All of the other marriage entries in the family bible recorded details such as the date and the name of the church where the ceremony was performed.  Lillian and Jack's entry is simply "Lillian Katherine to Jack" (with "Hinshaw" written in later in a different hand in different ink).  Apparently the Forsters were not pleased with her marrying a protestant "heathen".2  

Jack Wendell Hinshaw died May 16 1992, Dolton, Cook County, Illinois.6,7  

Lillian Catherine Forster died Nov 6 2002, Will County, Illinois.1,6,7  

Lillian died from a stroke.7  No burial was performed as she donated her body for medical research.7  

A memorial service was held for her on Saturday, November 9, 2002 at St. Mary's Church in Mokena, Illinois, with many friends and family in attendence.7  

Lillian's death notice was published in the "Chicago Tribune" on Sunday, November 10, 2002:7,8
