 Aguiar, Manuel R., Jr.: Rancher, Supervisor.

     Born Jan. 2, 1892. Hanamaulu, Kauai, son of Manuel R. and Maria (Melin)
Aguiar; married Beatrice Ignacio of Papaikou, Hawaii, Feb. 25, 1922; children,
Beatrice Stiffany, Marie Carroll and Charlotte Melin Aguiar.

     Prominent for a number of years in Kauai and territorial public affairs,
Mr. Aguiar has given most of his attention to the development of his homestead
at Kupaa, where he has achieved substantial success and has promoted the
homesteading movement generally. A self-made man, he went to work for the Makee
Sugar Co, when he was only fourteen years of age. Appointed assistant postmaster
of Kealia in 1914, he resigned nine months later to devote himself to his
homestead.

     Entering politics as a Republican, he was elected to the House of the
territorial legislature for the 1919 session and as a Democrat in 1928 was
elected supervisor from the Kawaihau district, which he has since represented on
the Kauai board. Mr Aguiar had service in the National Guard of Hawaii, 1916-18.
