• Henry Wiest was the son of William Francis Wiest and Ida A. Witmer.

Both the 1900 and 1910 Census listings indicate Ida as the mother of 6 children, all then living and all of which are otherwise identified. Henry was not included among Ida's children in either the 1900 or 1910 Census listings. Moreover, no child named "Henry Wiest" was listed among the heirs of Ida Schreffler after her death in 1928. Hence it is likely that Ida did not have a child named Henry.^1,2,3,4,5
