(Wood) Brown. He was educated in the Los Angeles public schools and the University of Southern California Law College, was a bookkeeper and statistician with various Los Angeles firms for two years and a teller of the United States National Bank in Los Angeles for six years previous to coming to Honolulu. During the World war Mr. Brown was commissioned at the first Officers’ Training Camp at Schofield Barracks. While serving as assistant department adjutant of the Hawaiian Department, he was placed in charge of the draft mobilization camp.
