The Jewish Independent, Friday, July 12, 1940; Page: 6
Obituary Henry J. Weidenthal, member of a pioneer Cleveland family, and one of the city's leading journalists, passed away at his home, 1577 Robinwood Avenue, at the age of seventy years, on Monday, July 8. At the time of his death. Mr. Weidenthal was associate editor of the Cleveland News. He had spent his entire adult life as a journalist here, having served as sports writer, sports editor, city editor and managing editor of various Cleveland daily newspapers.
Mr Weidenthal was the son of Emanuel Weidenthal, one of the city's pioneer shoe merchants. He was born in downtown Cleveland and resided here throughout his entire life. Surviving Mr. Weidenthal are his wife, Adele; two sons, Herbert Weidenthal of this city and Dr. Kurt Weidenthal of Hudson, O.; three grandchildren; four sisters, Mrs. Bertha Kline, Mrs. Evelyn Sperling and Miss Lillie Weidenthal of Cleveland and Mrs. Celia Glick of Chicago; and a brother, Leo Weidenthal. The deceased was also a brother of the late Maurice Weidenthal of this city.
A vigorous controversy developed over the plan of numbering streets instead of naming them. Leading stores of the city protested against the idea, claiming it would be confusing and costly. The new plan was adopted, March 6, becoming effective, December 1. Before long, the idea was con- sidered an improvement over the old system, making it far easier for people to find their way about the fan-shaped city. For years, however, many citizens expressed regret that fine historic names had to give way to mere numerals. (See street index in back of book.)
The Jewish Independent was first issued on March 9, and Maurice Weiden- thal, one of Cleveland's ablest and best-known newspapermen, became editor on May 25. His brother, Henry, was sports editor of the Plain Dealer, managing editor of the Press, staff writer of the News, and was particularly known for his historical features, "Those Days." A third brother, Leo, served on the World, predecessor of the News, and as political reporter for the Plain Dealer, prior to succeeding Maurice as editor of the Jewish Independent. A son of Maurice, William R., was for a number of years an official of this publication.
