You may never have heard of Donald Mussay, but if you’ve looked at the Sears Tower, you’ve seen the window hanger’s work. You may be familiar with Richard J. Daley and Harold Washington, but you will be captivated by Emma Schweer, the woman who might have been America’s oldest elected officeholder. Through their stories, Chicago Lives tells the story of twentieth-century Chicago itself. Charming, surprising, inspirational, and historical, Chicago Lives presents elegant narratives first told on the obituary pages of the Chicago Tribune. Among them were faces we saw every day and thought we knew well enough until their obituaries gave us a final, fuller look.
