Hey Joe,

Wanted to thank you again. Found this “Hughey” autograph in a recently acquired Cornell scrapbook after seeing your post. This particular signature was in a Cornell banquet program dated February 21, 1900.

I’ve been doing a little research since and it appears he didn’t switch his signature to “Hughie” until his time in Detroit. According to Hugh Jenning’s biography by Jack Smiles he was primarily referred to as “Hughey” by friends and in newspaper articles until around 1900. Was curious if anyone here has seen a “Hughie” Jennings signature pre-1906?
