CIVIL WAR
The biographical record of Jasper County, Missouri By Malcolm G. McGregor (1901).
Henry Widner was a native of Tennessee, but when twelve years old was taken by his parents to Clinton county, Indiana. In 1856 he removed to Wisconsin, where he engaged in farming and in the furniture business. By trade he was a cabinet-maker and millwright. He was very prominent in the different localities in which he lived, and while a resident of Indiana he was engaged in the manufacture of plug tobacco and cigars at Howard, between Logansport and Kokomo. He married Tamer Morton in 1844, who was born in Pennsylvania but was reared in Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Widner became the parents of eight children, four sons and four daughters.
In 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil war, he and two of his sons, Mathias and Martin, readily responded to the call of his country and became a member of Company D, Eleventh Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and in 1862 he laid down his life for the cause which he had so nobly espoused.(this is not true. He died Mar 15, 1863)
His oldest son, Mathias, died in the war as well. Most of the relatives on the paternal side were southern people and therefore espoused the cause of the south during the Civil war. (this is incorrect. 11th Reg. Co D fought for the north...Name: Henry Widner
