Notes
a. Note:   Henry's initial intention was to attend West Point Military Academy and pursue a military career, but he abandoned this desire to help his father run the brewery. He also engaged in politics with the Republican party, serving in the State Assembly and on the Solano County Board of Supervisors. He was later, through the offices of Governor Hiram W. Johnson, appointed to the state Highway Commission in charge of all road building in the state of California. While inspecting roads in the Jamison Canyon a shotgun that he was carrying discharged as he was crawling through a fence, fatally wounding him. He was only 35 years old and at the beginning of a brilliant career when death struck so suddenly. The Vallejo Independent Press of 6 Jun 1980 carries a photo and a brief biography by Millard B. Frazier, under the title "Widenmann Family Stalked By Tragedy."
