This is my husband's name, and have yet to to much reseach on it. As far as I know, his line of Widener's came from Missouri. There were quite a few here in Cowley County also, another line that is not related. There is a Widener Cemtery, in Cowley County, Ks, small, rural cemetery, but very nice. Alot of Widener's in there, the cemetery is around Rock, Kansas.
