a. Evening work; during the day he worked construction.[3]
b. Attended Bryant and Fulton Business College, St. Louis, during the evenings.[3] The St Louis Globe-Democrat mentioned in 1889 that "The drawings, etc., made during the winter term by the scholars of the St. Louis Academy of Architecture and Building, 3066 South Ninth street, will be exhibited today...at the above place."[]
c. The second name of the company is given in illegible handwriting; the first available directory for Grand Island is 1903; listed therein is a Hehnke Company, hardware.
d. See undated obituary attached to Hehnke’s State Board file.[3][5]
e. The Improvement Bulletin noted in 1909 "C. [sic] J. Hehnke has completed plans for the First National Bank building. It will be 2-story, 50x80, of gray pressed brick, with stone window caps and lintels, and marble interior finish." The Scottsbluff Star-Herald confirmed Hehnke's involvement in the project in November, 1909.[7][39] Scottsbluff had two new banks with new buildings under construction in 1909, which Improvement Bulletin dutifully reported [40], but that trade journal was also confused by the two similarly named banks--First National Bank of Scottsbluff and Scottsbluff National Bank. Hehnke was identified as the designer of the First National in May of 1909, which was already under construction before the journal reported in October that J. P. Guth, an Omaha architect, was preparing plans for "First National Bank of Scottsbluff."[41] Guth presumably designed instead the Scottsbluff National Bank, as photographs of that building correspond to the much narrow footprint (25'x64') ascribed to Guth's building.(EFZ)
