    1. [IOWA] WIDIGAN
    2. Mona Knight
    3. Following up further on this name, I find an Archie WIDIGAN who registered from Lee Co., IA, Keokuk, in the World War I registrations. He was single, age 22, b. July 4, 1893, and worked at the Purity Oats Co. in Davenport, IA. Looks like this is, in fact, the brothers to Florence Widigan. It also appears that their parents were gone or died and Florence and Archie Otto Widigan went to live in Hancock Co., IL, with their aunt and uncle. The Social Security death index shows Archie Widigan, b. 4 July 1896, died 1979 in Topeka, Kansas. I also find Archie Widegan, hired boy, age 15, b. IA, living with the John Mouston family in Hancock Co., IL, Wythe Co., in the 1910 census. Florence in living in Champaign, IL, in Champaign County, Ward 7, living with Professor Ira O. Baker and wife Emma, and florence is age 19, servant. I hope this is helpful.
