The Wideners were among the first American families to exhibit a strong social consciousness and share their grea t wealth with society. They built and endowed the Widener Memorial School for Crippled Children, Philadelphia, created the Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University and donated their world-renowned art collection to help start the ational Gallery of Art in Washing ton, D.C. They also gave their Philadelphia mansion to the Free Library of Philadelphia and their Newport, R. I. home to the Protestant Epis copal Diocese of Rhode Island. Through the Widener Memorial Foundation in Aid of Handi capped Children, the family has continued its philanthropy by pro viding financial aid to the Child Development Center, Norristown, Pa.; St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children, and the Center for th e Blind, all Philadelphia ; and the Easter Seal Society of Penn sy lvania, among others. A prominent Philadelphia family which dates back to pre Revolutionary days, the Wideners became internationally known in the late 1800s and early 1900s under Peter A. B. Widener. He rose from a butcher's boy in his brother's meatshop on Spring Garden St. to become the owner of more miles of street railways than any other man in the world. He al so helped to organize such industrial giants as the U. S. Steel Corporation and the American Tobacco Company and had substantial holdings in the Standard Oil Company and the Penn sy l vania Railroad Company. 9 A t one time he and his associates owned stree t rail way sys tems in Philadelphia, New Yo rk, Chicago, Pitts burgh, Baltimo re and W as h ington, D.C. He is cr dited w ith co nso li da ting hi ghl y frag mented street ra ilway sys tems and is recognized as th e lead in g fo rce behind continued moderni za tion of mass transit. A t the ti me, all stree t rai l ways consisted of ho rse-d rawn ve hicles. In 1892 he introduced ca bl e ca rs in to operation on Market St., Co lumbia Ave., 7th and 9th Sts. in Phil adelphia. He conti nu ed to press fo r grea ter efficiency and later became a pioneer in the introd uction of electric street ca rs, despite in itial loca l opposition. Late r, he o rga ni zed gas and elec tric lighting compa nies in Phil a delphia, Reading, Harri sb urg, Atl anta, Sava nnah, Vicksburg, St. Augus tine, M inneapoli s, Kansas City and D es M o in es. He se rved on th e Phil adelphia Boa rd of Edu ca ti on, 1867-70, and was appointed City Treas urer in 1873. As treas urer, Widener found th e ci ty unab le to pay certain wa rrants th at had come due. So, he personally pa id them and agreed to wa it until th e city coul d repay him. He was also a ca ndida te fo r mayo r of Philadelphia in 1892 and in 1900 he so ught a seat in th e U. S. Se nate. In 1902 , he founded the W idener Memorial Sc hool in memory of hi s w ife o f 38 yea rs, Josephine D. , and his so n, Harry K. Th e school provided free med ica l trea tment and th erapy, as well as educa tion in all grades, to handicapped children living in Phil adelphi a. The st udents lived at th e sc hool on a 30-acre w ooded trac t at Broa d St.
