Whereabouts would this be located? i.e. where was the German community in the 1880s and 90s?

I will be back in town in a couple of weeks and would like to find at least a rough idea of the location where she may have lived (I'm guessing it's all high rises now ...). She is evidently buried at Calvary cemetery in Evanston, so I at the very least would like to visit there. (All of this because I clearly can't visit Stuttgart right now, which is where the family originates.)

Thanks in advance
If you want to tell me what their names were and possibly any names of their children, I could look them up on the Census for that time period and see if an address will come up.
