FRANK ALVAN ALEXANDER, Plantation Manager. The call of the islands drew Frank 
A. Alexander to Hawaii from a promising business career in San Francisco, and 
led him through the various stages of plantation life that preceded his 
appointment as manager of the McBryde Sugar Co., at Eleele, Kauai.
  Born on Oct. 31, 1869, to James McKinney and Mary E. (Webster) Alexander in 
California, he received his early education in the grammar and high schools of 
Oakland. Then he attended the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University 
and later was a student at the University of California.
  He began his career in San Francisco but soon afterwards came to Hawaii to 
accept a position as luna at the Haiku Sugar Co., on Maui. He was promoted to 
be in charge of the Kaluanui division of the Haiku plantation and later was 
head luna for the Paia Agricultural Co. He became assistant manager of the 
Maui Agricultural Co., when it was formed some years ago. Soon afterward he 
was made manager of the McBryde Sugar Co., at Eleele, a position he has held 
for many years.
  Mr. Alexander married Pearl E. Swan of Buffalo, N.Y., at Paia, Maui, on June 
29, 1905. He is a Mason and a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
