EUGENE HARRISON BEEBE, Attorney. Called to Hawaii late in 1921 to enter the 
law office of Thompson & Cathcart, Eugene H. Beebe has since become a member 
of the firm, one of the most prominent in the Territory.
  Born near Missoula, Mont., Dec. 2, 1889, the son of Frank Post Beebe, a 
contractor, Mr. Beebe spent his childhood in the rural districts of Montana. 
Going to Seattle, Wash., in 1902, he attended the public schools and was 
graduated from Seattle High School, now Broadway High School, in 1908.
  Becoming a member of the most northerly baseball club in the world, Mr. 
Beebe went to Nome, Alaska, the summer of 1908, playing a series of games in 
the gold camp city, then in the heyday of its prosperity. He also worked at 
one of the mines, “coming out” on the last boat before the freeze up.
  After entering the University of Washington and studying forestry and 
engineering for two years, Mr. Beebe changed to a law course and took an LL.B. 
degree in 1913. While in college he was a star catcher and won his letter as a 
member of the baseball team. He joined the Kappa Sigma fraternity and was 
elected to Phi Delta Phi, honorary legal fraternity.
  Mr. Beebe began his legal career in Everett, Wash., associated with Col. 
Howard Hathaway, now of Honolulu. A few weeks after the United States declared 
war in 1917, Mr. Beebe enlisted in the navy, remaining in service until 
December, 1918, when he received an honorable discharge as midshipman and 
accepted a position as attorney for the Pacific Coast Shippers’ Association.
  He married Marie Brook Harding of New York in Seattle, Nov. 10, 1921, and 
sailed for Honolulu, arriving here Nov. 22, 1921, to join Thompson & Cathcart. 
He is an Elk and a member of the Outrigger Canoe and Oahu Country Clubs.
