The State of Illinois death index shows a number of the names you mention. You can search the pre 1916 db here: http://www.ilsos.gov/GenealogyMWeb/deathsrch.html and 1916 - 1950 here: http://www.ilsos.gov/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html. If you find your Gorny's made their way to Chicago, let me know as I am researching and John Gorny there as well (married Frances Szamarcka in 1881). jennifer_lehman@hotmail.com.
