GEORGE II BROWN, Estate Manager. George Ii Brown, manager and treasurer of the 
John Ii Estate, Ltd., received his business training in Boston, where, from 
1912 until 1916, he was associated with the Old Colony Trust Co., and was 
called back to his native Honolulu to assume his present position of Jan. 1, 
1917, in succession to his father, Charles A. Brown, former Honolulu 
capitalist and business director, who has retired.
  Mr. Brown is a descendant of old and distinguished Hawaiian and New England 
families. His maternal grandfather, Judge John Ii, was an eminent Hawaiian 
leader in the early period of the Hawaiian monarchy, a chief justice of the 
Supreme Court of the Kingdom, an educator, a minister and a friend and 
supporter of the American missionaries. His mother, Irene Kahalelaukoa (Ii) 
Brown Holloway, who died in 1922, was a woman whose broad charities and kindly 
spirit made her beloved by thousands of all races and particularly by her own 
people, the Hawaiians. Through his father, Mr. Brown’s American ancestry is 
traced to John Lyons, who came to Massachusetts from England in 1642.
  Born in Honolulu, Oct. 19, 1887, Mr. Brown was educated in the schools of 
Honolulu, Oahu College and Fessenden School, West Newton, Mass., going later 
to Phillips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire, and Burdett Business College, 
Boston. His education completed, he entered the Old Colony Trust Co. in Boston.
  During the World War Mr. Brown was a member of the War Savings Stamp 
committee in Honolulu and in 1919 was appointed acting field director for the 
American Red Cross, having served the previous year as associate director. 
During the same period he was assistant secretary and a member of the Hawaiian 
Vigilance Corps of the American Defense Society. He received military training 
at the famous Plattsburg Training Camp, Plattsburg, N.Y.
  In addition to his business responsibilities with the John Ii Estate, Ltd., 
Mr. Brown is a director of the Hawaiian Trust Co., Ltd.; trustee of the 
Queen’s Hospital Corporation, member of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, 
charter member of the Oahu Country Club and a member of the Pacific and Hawaii 
Polo and Racing Clubs. He was appointed a commissioner of the Territorial 
Board of Agriculture and Forestry on April 2, 1925.
  Mr. Brown married Julia Davis Long White at Boston, June 3, 1913. They have 
three sons, George Ii, Jr., Zadoc W., and Kenneth F. Brown.
