JAMES BICKNELL, city and County Auditor. A descendant of an old missionary 
family, James Bicknell, city and county auditor, has served the community in 
that official capacity for the past twenty years. He followed a business 
career in Honolulu for a number of years, beginning in the employ of T. G. 
Thrum in 1890, following which he was employed by several well known firms as 
an accountant, continuing in this line of work until July 1, 1905, when county 
government was first established. He was elected auditor in that year and has 
been re-elected each succeeding term since. From 1896 until 1900, he was in 
the United States customs service.

Hawaii in the 60’s and was connected for many years with the Hawaiian Board of 
Missions as a minister. He died in 1892.
  Mr. Bicknell received his education at Punahou School and Oahu College, 
later attending Heald’s Business College in San Francisco. He was in the 
National Guard in 1887 and 1888, and was a member of the Mounted Reserves in 
1893, during the Revolution.
