Name
Fact Details: Obituary states his name as Theodore Theno. Headstone records his name as Theodore Theno. Daughter Mary Theno Lenz's death cert indicates it as Henry.

It is believed Theodore is correct based on obituary and headstone. This is further suggested in that his daughter Mary named her oldest son Theodore likely in honor of her father. Possibly he was Theodore Henry or Henry Theodore. He did have a son named Henry. Joe Lenz may have incorrectly identified his as Henry on his mother's death certificate.
