Notes
a. Dole's obituary states that he joined Marshall Mahurin's office as a draftsman at age 18 (hence, c. 1889) but no other firm evidence of such an early association has been found. However, it may be suggestive that the son of Arthur and Martha, born about 1896, was named Marshall.[4] Marshall Dole was listed in Fort Wayne directories of the late 1920s as a draftsman for General Electric Co.
b. Dole was first listed in Fort Wayne, Indiana directories in 1903 as a draftsman for the firm Wing & Mahurin, a longstanding partnership of John F. Wing and Marshall S. Mahurin. In 1904 through 1906, he was associated with Fort Wayne architects Robert A. Bradley and Frank F. Allen, listed sometimes as a draftsman and in 1905 as an architect. Dole was also listed in a 1906 Chattanooga city directory as a draftsman with the prominent architect R. H. Hunt, while 1906 Fort Wayne newspapers reflected that Dole "has returned from Chattanooga...and has taken a position with Bradley & Allen..."[6][7]
c. Dole's meandering career can be traced largely through ancestry.com's extensive on-line resource of American city directories. Where corresponding mentions in local newspapers have been found, those are listed below among References.
d. Dole's first known Nebraska association was with the Bankers Realty Investment Company (BRIC), representing the firm in Alliance, Nebraska, when efforts were underway there to construct a new Burlington Hotel. That project did not come to fruition. He also represented BRIC in 1916 in seeking the commission for the Dodge County Courthouse in Fremont.[9][10] Later in 1916 his visit to Nebraska City on behalf of John Latenser & Sons was noted.[12] A Fremont architectural firm received the commission to design the Dodge County Courthouse, which was built in 1917-1918. SEE A. H. Dyer & Co.
