CHARLES AUGUSTUS BROWN, Retired Capitalist. Although now retired from 
business, and spending most of his time in travel and at his home in Lowell, 
Mass., Charles A. Brown, for almost forty-eight years a resident of Hawaii, 
has extensive interests in the Territory in association with his sons, George 
Ii Brown and Francis Ii Brown, and is a frequent visitor to Honolulu, where he 
is widely known.
  Coming to Hawaii when but twenty-one, Mr. Brown was here during a great part 
of the reign of King Kalakaua. He was employed as bookkeeper on a number of 
plantations and later entered the employ of the banking house of Bishop & Co. 
in 1878, remaining there nine years. On Sept. 30, 1886, Mr. Brown married the 
late Irene Kahalelaukoa Ii, daughter of Judge John Ii.
  From 1887 to 1916, when he retired, Mr. Brown was actively engaged with the 
management and development of the extensive land holdings of the Ii estate, 
thousands of acres of which are now leased to sugar and pineapple plantations 
on the Island of Oahu. The John Ii Estate, Ltd., was incorporated in 1897, Mr. 
Brown continuing to direct its affairs until the date of his retirement, when 
his sons took charge.
  Mr. Brown was born June 25, 1856, at Worcester, Mass., the son of George A. 
and Mary E. (Longley) Brown. He received his education in the schools of his 
native state, leaving home at an early age to sail around Cape Horn to San 
Francisco. He arrived in Hawaii, March 12, 1877.
  Mr. Brown married Gertrude Lawrence Adams of New York, June 27, 1900. They 
have no children. In Honolulu Mr. Brown is a member of the Pacific Club and is 
a Mason.
