I don't know if anyone is looking for the death date for Catherine O'Leary, but I recently came across the following newspaper article: "She Owned A Famous Cow" "Chicago, Ill, July 5 - Mrs. Catherine O'Leary died Wednesday afternoon. She was the owner of the fractious cow, which in a barn in the rear of 137 Dekoven Street on a memorable night in October 1871, kick over a lamp and started a blaze which cost Chicago $190,000,000." Transcribed from the Buffalo Evening News, Friday, July 5, 1895.
