Hennessy's employee from about 1892 and its Butte store superintendent from August 1915 (Butte Miner, 13 Aug 1915). Not 'Ed Devine' / Edwin Devine of Anaconda (AOH; died before Aug 1916, when the Hibernians passed a resolution on his death: 1916-08-24_anaconda-standard_hibernians-elect-state-officers-jjm-treasurer), who could be the 1911 banquet guest only if his middle initial was J; the 1922 guest cannot be Edwin. The 1922 list reads 'E. J. Devine, Dakota.' on the clipping image (4x, 4 Oct 2026); the clipping's transcription_claude.md has 'J. F. Devine' and the page's model comparisons 'H. J. Devine', both misreadings. Record created 4 Oct 2026 (full analysis, promoted names, batch b10b).
