Have you tried to get death certificates from the Dept. of Health, 523 E. Capitol, Pierre, SD 57501-3182? They're $10 each, and you need to show your relationship. You can also get them from the Register of Deeds in the county of death.
FamilySearch database of the 1880 Census, Washington, Dallas, IA, MLINAR: Frank, 44; Carolina, 43; Anna, 21; & Frank, 17--all preceding & their parents b. Bohemia. Born in Iowa: Tilda, 13; Caroline, 11; Joseph, 10; John, 9; Mary, 6; Barbara, 4; & Palena {female, Pauline}, 2.
FamilySearch has the maiden name as Caroline KODYTEK.
I couldn't find a Thomas WILSON of the right age in 1880, but in Washington, Dallas, IA, there were WILSON, Thomas, 52, PA PA NJ; "others" Elizabeth, 53, PA NJ OH, & Charles, 23, IA PA PA.
Also, in 1880, Washington, Dallas, IA, PAPHA, Frank, 26, Bohemia; Josephine, 19, Bohemia; dau. Palena, 1, IA. [Other researchers list PACHA.]
One researcher lists Anna MLINAR's birthplace as Klosterle, Senftenberg, Konig [or Koenigreich], Gratz Bohemia. In case you haven't been able to find Klasterec, you should be able to find Senftenberg, about thirty miles north-northeast of Dresden.
Also online is a mention that there are three pages on MLINAR in the Stuart, NE, Centennial, 1884 - 1984.
Have you checked with Jerry WALSH? He may have obits., as he has a lot on the MLINAR family, including their arrival 30 Aug. 1865, in steerage on the "Donau" out of Marseilles: MLINAR, Franz, 30, farmer; Karolina, 30; Anna, 7; Josepha, 5; Frank, 3; & Ferd., 2. Do a Google search for MLINAR.
I guess they really wanted to keep researchers on their toes. Josephine must be Josepha. Also, some list Ferd. as Fred, and he may have died before 1880, since I don't see him on the census. Matilda was Tilda & Tillie. Caroline was Cora.
Good Luck!
