The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 6-1-1920
MAHLUM, ERLING E.
ERLING E. MAHLUM PASSES AWAY.  After an illness of many months, Mr. E. E. Mahlum 
passed away last Tuesday, May 18th, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. G. C. 
Hofgaard, Kaimuki, Honolulu. Mr. Mahlum was born at Lillehammer, Norway, about 40 
years ago and came, together with his parents, to this Territory in 1889 and has 
had his home on Kauai ever since. He attended the old Fort Street school in 
Honolulu for a year or more, and when his brother-in-law, Mr. C. Borchgrevink, 
moved to California and made his home in Riverside, Mr. Mahlum was sent there to 
go to school. He was sent to Stockton Business College and took a full course at 
that institution. Upon his graduation he was offered and accepted a position as 
teacher in the Polytechnic Business College of Oakland and taught there for a year 
or more but left the teaching profession and entered a business house in San 
Francisco. The call of Kauai was too strong, however, and in 1899 he returned and 
was with C. B. Hofgaard & Co. in Waimea till ill health forced him to resign about 
three or four months ago. He first was clerk, later manager of a branch store, and 
for the last 14 years he has been the general manager. He leaves four sisters in 
the Territory; Mrs. Pauline Omsted, Mrs. C. B. Hofgaard, Miss Helene Mahlum, and 
Mrs. G. C. Hofgaard, and one sister in California, Mrs. G. Borchgrevink; and 
legions of friends who will miss him and keep his memory green for many years to 
come.
