    Notes:

    It's important to note that the Winifred, Henry Co., Iowa Pratts are not the same Pratts as this family.  At least, I can't currently link them in any meaningful way.

    George married Mary Altyra Widel on 13 Aug 1878 in Jackson, Iowa, United States. Mary (daughter of John F Widell and Susanna Jewett) was born on 05 Dec 1860 in Iowa, United States; died on 05 Dec 1893 in Jackson, Iowa, United States; was buried in Waterford Cemetery, Buckhorn, Jackson, Iowa, United States.

    Other Events:

    • Residence: 1880, Monmouth, Jackson, Iowa, United States
    • Residence: 1885, Monmouth, Jackson, Iowa, United States

    Notes:

    On the 1870 Census, there are two Mary Widel(l)s listed, both in Monmouth, both the same age. *sigh*

    Of the two, both have fathers born in PA. John Widel is listed on earlier censuses pretty consistently as John Wendle/Windle/Windel (with an N). Since the marriage, death, and cemetery records for M.A. consistently lists her as Widel, I think this might be a false connection, and that her father is actually Adam Widel.

    Tracking Florence D Widel:

    1870 census lists a boy named Clarence in the John F and Susan Jewett household of the right age. 1880 census lists a Della Widel with Susan. In 1885, a Florence D is living with Fred and Tyra Pratt.

    In 1900, a Florence D. Riegel is married to a Frank Riegel in South Fork, Jackson Co., Iowa. She's the right age, and parentage is from Pennsylvania and Ohio (the birthplaces of John F. and Susan Jewett).

    Ron R. has a page at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rrrose2&id=I066298 where he lists Frank Riegel married to a "Della Wehel". I've emailed Ron for more information.

    Kay Lasander has a listing for Frank here: http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?pid=-1277029044&tid=4679698&ssrc=
    ...that lists him married to an "Adela", with a daughter named Florence Lula. I've emailed Kay for more information.

    Residence:
    Living 2 doors down from the Teeples. Living with an 18 year old woman named Florence D Widell.
