Have you collected the family death notices for Peter Chapek / Chapeck (referencing Maria) from either of two of Milwaukee's German newspapers? There are also notices found in three different German newspapers for a Maria Chapek.

These are indexed in the collection: "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items", covering 1844-1950.
