George Hennington was his father. He was also buried at that cemetary. I am puzzled that he was not listed. He died in Montana but supposedly brought to Willow River Cemetary for burial. This man is a real mystery because he shows up in no census reports or even in the marriage records. He married Anna Christianson and had two children Arthur George Hennington and Helmer.
