FRANK ORVILLE BOYER, Engineer. Seeking a new field of opportunity, Frank O. 
Boyer, practical steam and electrical engineer, came to Hawaii from his home 
in Ohio in 1899. Since 1909 he has been manager of the Hawaiian department of 
the Dearborn Chemical Co. of Chicago, and is a director of a number of other 
firms in which he is personally interested.
  Mr. Boyer’s first work in Hawaii was as assistant to his uncle, W. E. 
Elliott in developing artesian wells. He followed this occupation until 1902, 
when he became connected with the Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land Co., Ltd., as 
an assistant in the engine rooms, where he remained until 1908, when he was 
appointed assistant manager of the Dearborn Chemical Co. branch, becoming 
manager a year later. He is also supervisor of the company’s Oriental 
Division, which includes China, Japan and the Philippines, and visits those 
countries every three years.
  Born at Botkins, O., Feb. 28, 1882, Mr. Boyer is the son of William Harvey 
and Mary Angeline (Elliott) Boyer. He was educated in the schools of Ohio, 
graduated from Botkins High School, took a special course in business at Ada 
College, Ada, and entered the shops of the American Well Works, Aurora, 
Illinois, as an apprentice.
  Mr. Boyer was for six years a member of the Industrial Accident Commission 
of Honolulu. He is a Mason, Shriner and past potentate of Aloha Temple; Elk, 
and a member of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, Commercial and Oahu Country 
Clubs. While serving as potentate of Aloha Temple, Mr. Boyer took up with the 
Imperial Commission of the Shrine the matter of having a crippled childrens’ 
Shrine Hospital established in Honolulu, and the present institution here is 
the result.
