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.
