HON. FRANK ANDRADE, Lawyer and Jurist. A resident of Hawaii since early 
childhood, Frank Andrade has been a lawyer, legislator, rancher, community 
builder and jurist. He is now first judge of the First Circuit Court of 
Hawaii, in Honolulu.
  A practicing attorney since 1899, Judge Andrade early in his career, 
dominated by a natural instinct, specialized in land matters and became 
manager of extensive ranch holdings on windward Oahu, which led to leadership 
in the movement for the development of that attractive district. He is still 
personally interested in ranching at Kailua, and prior to his appointment to 
the bench on December 27, 1921, was manager of the Kaneohe Ranch Co., Ltd., 
and the Heeia Agricultural Co. Ltd. For many years he was actively interested 
in the development and opening of agricultural lands in the Kaneohe district, 
but resigned his corporation connections when he took his place on the bench.
  Elected to the legislature in 1903, 1905 and 1919, Judge Andrade aided in 
securing legislation providing finances for highway improvements on Oahu, 
including the building of a road from Honolulu to Kailua. He served as 
chairman of the judiciary committee in the legislature. Judge Andrade is a 
Hawaiian scholar, speaking the language fluently.
  At the beginning of his career as a lawyer in 1901, Judge Andrade was 
appointed deputy attorney general to adjust fire claims resulting from the 
plague fire of 1900 and was active in organizing the fire claims court. He 
also served a four-year term as district magistrate of Honolulu and was deputy 
city and county attorney for two years.
  Born on the Island of Madeira, Sept. 5, 1873, Judge Andrade was the son of 
Louis and Mary Andrade, early settlers in Hawaii. He was educated in the 
public schools of Honolulu, and Leland Stanford, Jr., University, being 
admitted to the bar in California in 1899. For a time he practiced law in San 
Francisco.
  Judge Andrade married Mary Howland (deceased) in Honolulu, Oct. 11, 1902. He 
married Adelaide Moore in Los Angeles, Dec. 23, 1922. He was for several years 
a director of the Honolulu Dairymen’s Association, is a Mason and a member of 
the University Club.
