I think this must be your Dora Cady and Robert E. Pratt...

The Kansas State Historical Society has Kansas Census records (1905, 1915, 1925) available through the interlibrary loan program: http://www.kshs.org/genealogists/census/kansas/index.htm

If Dora died in Kansas her death certificate can be obtained through the Kansas Dept of Health and Environment for a fee of $13.00: http://www.kdheks.gov/vital/

Maybe Dora's obit would say where in Iowa she was born. The Kansas State Historical Society also has old Kansas newspapers available through the interlibrary loan program: http://www.kshs.org/library/news.htm

16 Jun 1900 Harrison County Missouri, Butler Township
PRATT, Robert E.; Head; 31; Mar 1869; M; W; Married 1 yr; Farmer; MO; IL; IL
---, Dora M.; Wife; 23; Jul 1876; F; W; Married 1 yr; 1 child/1 living; IA; IA; IA

---, Martha J.; Mother; 57; May 1843; F; W; Widowed; 8 children/7 living; IL; KY; KY

So far all the above censuses show Dora was born in Iowa, not Kansas. As supposedly her parents were...

Looking at the 1880 census on the LDS site http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
I only see two potential Dora Cadys - Dora A., b. 1876 and Dora, b. 1878 - according to the site neither of the two were born in IA

Harry Black isn't in Barber County on the 1920...
