Note(s)
From William Weber's obituary: Upon his return to America the young artist came west on account of his mother's health and opened a studio in Kansas City in 1890. His first work was a commission from the Germans to design their floats for their parades of that year. In 1893 he designed the Priests of Pallas floats. Kansas City Star, April 04, 1905, p.01.
