CIVIL WAR
BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF JASPER COUNTY. Please add to BIO: By trade he was a cabinet-maker and millwright. In
1861, at the outbreak of the Civil war, he 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. He had been very prominent in the different localites 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, who was born in Pennsylvania but was reared in Virginia, and she now makes her home in Cass county, Iowa, having reached the age of seventy-seven years. Her father, William Morton, removed from
Pennsylvania to Virginia and was of Scotch descent. Mr. and Mrs. Widner became the parents of eight children, four sons and four daughters. The eldest son, Mathias, also laid down his life on the altar of his country, having been a soldier in Company D, Eleventh Wisconsin Infantry. Most of the relatives on the paternal side were southern people and therefore espoused the cause of the south during the Civil war, and the older representatives of the family are still supporters of the Democracy.
His next location was in Cass county, where the tilling of the soil
claimed his attention until his removal to Jasper county, Missouri, in 1880. A location was first made east of Carthage, where he cultivated rented land until he located on his present fine farm on section 28, Mineral township, and here he is engaged in general farming, his efforts being attended with a high and well merited degree of success.
In Avilla, Jasper county, Missouri, in 1880, occurred the marriage of
Mr. Widner and Miss Florence Leidy. By this union there have been born six children,:—Harry, Lee, Paul, John, Maud and Isora, all at home. Mr. Widner has been a life-long Republican, firmly believing in the principles set forth by that party, and in its ranks he has taken a prominent and active part. He is thoroughly identified with the section in which he lives and has a host of warm friends in Jasper county.
