FRANK FOWLER BALDWIN, Sugar Planter. Manager of the Hawaiian Commercial & 
Sugar Co., one of the largest and most modern plantations in Hawaii, since 
1906, Frank F. Baldwin has been continuously engaged in the sugar industry 
since 1898, when, at the age of 20, he was first employed as a field worker.
  Born on the Island of Maui, March 30, 1878, he is the son of Henry P. and 
Emily (Alexander) Baldwin. His father, in association with Samuel T. 
Alexander, was one of the most successful plantation developers in the 
industrial history of Hawaii. Both of his parents were members of early and 
prominent missionary families.
  Mr. Baldwin was educated at the Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Conn., 1896, 
and Yale University (Sheffield), Class of 1899, but left college in 1898 to 
return to Hawaii and in August of that year went to work on Paia plantation. 
He was promoted to division head overseer of the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar 
Co., Feb., 1902, became assistant manager and in 1906 was appointed manager. 
Following the death of his father in 1911, he was elected president of the H. 
C. & S. Co., and the Kahului Railroad Co.
  On April 26, 1900, Mr. Baldwin married Harriet Kittredge of Oakland, Calif., 
and they have three sons, Edward H. K., Asa Fred and Lawrence Alexander 
Baldwin. A keen sportsman, Mr. Baldwin has long been one of Hawaii’s foremost 
polo players and he has captained Maui teams to championships in many inter-
island tournaments. His sons have inherited his love for this fine game, and 
the eldest, Edward, is regarded by experts as one of the most promising of 
America’s younger polo players.
  Mr. Baldwin served as president of the Maui Chamber of Commerce, 1911-1916, 
and is directing manager of Henry P. Baldwin, Ltd. He is a member of the Oahu 
Country, Pacific, University and Commercial Clubs of Honolulu; president of 
the Hawaii Polo and Racing Association and the Maui County Fair & Racing 
Association.
