Hello,
I realize your post is rather old but....
There is a Lige D. Widener Find-a-grave #69493482. If your Lige had a son....maybe this is him.

I am enclosing the wedding announcement for Mr. Widener....I really think the ELIZA is a typo...I find a Etta Widener with husband Lige..
Etta and I think LIGE not Eliza were married in Boulder County Colorado, which is right next to Weld County...anyway...maybe a new lead for you.

Here is what I am posting to the Widener site..
Good luck.
Anna

WIDENER-NICKS In Longmont, Colo., Sunday afternoon, August 11, 1907, Mr. Eliza Widener and Miss Etta Nicks, at the come of the bride's father,C. W. Nicks. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. L. Chase.

(Note: I believe this announcement has the wrong name for Mr. Widener...I think his name was Lige D. Widener Find-a-grave memorial # 69493482...with a wife Etta.
Someone would have to look further into this to verify.
Ett's father's (Charles) memorial # is 20260728.
