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.

• 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.

Buried:
There's also a Menzo Widel listed as interred in the Waterford Cemetary.
