Notes

a. A small notice in the Lincoln Daily News of September 7, 1914 announced "The co-partnership heretofore existing between Ferd C. Fiske and Jesse B. Miller under the firm name of Fiske and Miller, architects, is hereby dissolved by mutual consent. The said Ferd C. Fiske continuing the business in same office in Bankers' Life Ins. building, who assumes all liabilities and will collect all accounts due the firm." American Contractor carried a similar notice on September 12, 1914, with the added mention that "Jesse B. Miller has opened an office at 426 Little bldg., Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Miller desires catalogs and samples." Miller recalled several years later in Who's Who in Lincoln of 1928 that the partnership continued until 1915, but the more closely contemporary source is more credible. Fiske announced the "New Firm" of Fiske & Meginnis in January, 1915, listing several projects recently completed, including several dating from the period of the Fiske & Miller partnership.[9][10][11]

b. Although the announcement of the dissolution of the Fiske & Miller partnership is direct and carries a date of September 1914, the attribution of projects in late 1914 to Fiske & Miller or to F. C. Fiske operating independently is less clear-cut. The Shader house at 30th & Q Streets was noted in American Contractor at least as early as April, 1914, yet its permit was not issued until more than a month after the announcement of the partnership' termination, and still listed "Fiske & Miller" as the architects. On the other hand, the Shader Auto School permit issued later in October, and the permit for the Central Life Insurance project of late 1914, mention only Fiske.[13][15[23][25]
