I located quite a bit of information for you including an obituary for Walter Pflock. Since it was published in the Moville, Iowa newspaper, it appears that he died in Woodbury County. The obituary states that he and Amy Bookhart were married in July 1918.
Obituary:
Lawton, IA -- Walter Pflock was born in Freldricksroda, Germany, August 24, 1896, and died after a lingering illness on March 27, 1920, aged 23 years, 7 months, 3 days. He came to America May 13, 1913, and in July, 1918, was married to Miss Amy Bookhart. He was confirmed in the German Lutheran church. Deceased is survived by his wife, father and mother in Germany, two brothers in America, two brothers In Germany, four sisters in Germany, and a large number of friends in the land of his adoption and in the Fatherland.Moville Mail - Moville, Iowa
March 25, 1920***
Mrs. Amy Pflock, youngest daughter of Mrs. Rebecca Bookhart, and Martin O'Bryan were married at Parker, S. D., Monday, September 18. They will make their home on the Bookhart farm south of Lawton.Moville Mail - Moville, Iowa
September 28, 1933***
According to the South Dakota Marriage record, "Martin Obryan" was aged 37 and Amie Pflock was of "legal age" at the time of their marriage. This is what I located for you:Martin Thomas O'Bryan was born on May 2, 1895 in Wheaton, Kansas [WW I Draft Registration in Pennington County, South Dakota]; enumerated in 1900 Census with his parents James and Malinda O'Bryan in Sheridan, Holt, Nebraska; [Roll: 930; Page: 10B; Enumeration District: 111]; married Goldie May Mangeno on November 9, 1921 in Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota; married Dora Truman between 1925-1930; enumerated in 1930 Census, Sioux City, Woodbury, Iowa, living with Dora and her three children by two previous marriages. Two daughters born to Martin and Dora: Jeanette Shirley O'Bryan on June 3, 1930 in Sioux City and Marlene Celestia O'Bryan on February 1, 1932 in Sioux City. Dora and Martin divorced between 1932 and 1933 when he married Amy Pflock on September 18, 1933; In 1940, he is enumerated with another wife, Lillian and living in Sioux City. The 1940 census states that both Martin and Lillian were living in Sioux City in 1935. If this is all correct, then Amy (Bookhart) Pflock and Martin O'Bryan were only married a short time from 1933 to 1934 or 1935. In 1940, Amy O'Bryan is enumerated as Divorced and living in Moville Township, Woodbury County, Iowa. Martin died on January 20, 1978 and is buried in South Sioux City, Dakota, Nebraska. [Findagrave]
