Additional Information:

In 1973 a fountain dedicated to Theodore H. Korthanke was built Hiawatha, Kansas in the 400 block of Oregon Street, between the Law Enforcement Center and the Fire Department. It was renovated in 2007.

The city's nickname, "City of Beautiful Maples," is the result of an effort by Theodore H. Korthanke.

In 1918, T. H. Korthanke and his wife moved to 200 Miami Street in Hiawatha from a farm northeast of Hiawatha. On the corner of their yard was a stately hard maple tree which was admired by all who saw it in its full fall splendor which inspired Mr. Korthanke to plant trees around town from the seeds of his maple.
