Rick, first of all, Königreich was located in the District (in German: Kreis) of Trautenau in the northern part of what was until 1918 the Austrian province of Bohemia (in German: Böhmen; capital: Prague).Following World War I, Austria had to relinquish both Bohemia and the neighboring province of Moravia (in German: Mähren; capital: Brünn) to form the western half of the newly created country of Czechoslovakia.(Hungary had to relinquish its northwestern region of Upper Hungary to form the Slovakia half of the new country.)
Bohemia and Moravia are the two components of today's Czech Republic.Königreich is now known by the Czech name Kralovstvy, Trautenau by the Czech name Trutnov.
You indicate Mary Urban's parents as "unknown".But the 1880 census has Frank Urban, age 50, wife Anna, age 46, and four children living just a farm away from Edward Dennison and wife Mary and children in Washington Co., Iowa.It seems to me that Frank and Anna might be Mary's parents.
