Picture of William Henry Sweaney, Sr. and Jr.
William Henry Sweaney, Sr. was born in Quincy, Adams County, Illinois to Bernard Schwindeler and Margarite Gertrude Wellmann Schwindeler. His affiliation with the South during the Civil War brought about his changing his name to "Sweaney". He may have fought against at least one of his own brothers during any battle of the Civil War.

Mr. W. H. Sweaney, Sr., one of the oldest general contractors of the city, and a citizen held in high esteem, died late last night. Death resulted from heart disease, from which the deceased had long suffered, and was very sudden. Mr. Sweaney is survived by one son, Mr. W.H. Sweaney, Jr., and two daughters, Miss Nellie Sweaney, of this city, and a married daughter living in the West.
Excerpt from an article published in the RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH dated Sunday October 21, 1906, page 16.
Two large woodworking plants are in operation in Williamsburg by W.H. Sweaney & Son and Bozarth Brothers. They have extensive planing mills within the city limits, and they make sash, doors, railings, stairways, balusters, and all manner of interior furnishings and finishings. They are also extensive dealers in dressed lumber, and not only supply Williamsburg, which is and has been for two years on a building boom, but ship dressed lumber and interior furnishings to Newport News, Hampton and Norfolk, and even to Richmond. The Bozarths have several large saw-mills in the county, and in all they employ something over $50,000 in capital.
