Flora was living in Minnesota in 1870-1875 and then in 1885 she was living with the Wilson family (she married William E. Wilson). She did live a short time in Nebraska as a young girl but was then back in MN by 1885.
Flora I. Westland married in Rochester, Olmsted, MN to William E. Wilson, son of William Wilson (born England) and Emily Caroline Freeman (born OH). They married 22 March 1888 which was recorded in Book I page 337 and it was noted in the 30 March Rochester paper on page 3 column 3 about the marriage (also listed maybe her name was Westlam). Her name was often misspelled as Weson, Weston, Westlund, etc. She and William never had children.
Flora and William never had children and in 1895 were in Seward, Nobles, MN and then in 1900-1930 on census records in Moody Co.
