ERNST AUGUST VON ARNSWALDT, Chemist. Abandoning the study of medicine for a 
course at the Brunswick Sugar school, Germany, Ernst August von Arnswaldt came 
to Hawaii in January, 1888, and remained in the Territory as a sugar boiler 
and chemist on various plantations, renouncing his hereditary right to the 
title of Baron to become an American citizen in 1900.
  Born to the Freiherr, Baron Herman and Baroness Marie (von Elern) von 
Arnswaldt, Dec. 1, 1867, at the Rittergut, Hardenbastel, Hanover, he was 
educated in Germany, including one year in medicine at the University of 
Gottingen before he turned to sugar technology at Brunswick. He was 
naturalized as a citizen of the United States, Sept. 13, 1900, and was a 
member of the Citizens’ Guard at Waimea, Kauai, 1890-1894.
  Mr. von Arnswaldt’s first employment in Hawaii was at Kukiuhaele and he has 
since served as a sugar boiler and chemist at the Pacific Mill, Kekaha 
plantation, Onomea plantation, Kaiwiki Sugar plantation and Halawa, where he 
is now located.
  He is a 32º Mason, and a member of the Hawaiian Association of Sugar 
Technologists. He married Albertine Pralle, March 10, 1894. They have one 
daughter, Marie Tony Helene, now Mrs. Frank DeWitt Gibson.
