GUY H. BUTTOLPH, Stock Broker. After several adventurous years in South 
America and Mexico, following his profession as a mining engineer, Guy H. 
Buttolph in 1910 decided to make his home in Honolulu, buying one-half 
interest in the business and establishing the partnership of Williamson & 
Buttolph, stock and bond brokers. He has been prominent in club and fraternal 
circles and in connection with the Shriners’ hospital for crippled children, 
of which he is a trustee. A mobile unit of this work, founded in Honolulu in 
January, 1923, was the second unit opened and in the number of children cured 
is far ahead of some of the larger Shrine hospitals on the mainland.
  Mr. Buttolph went to Ecuador as a mining engineer in 1898 and remained there 
until 1903. He was then similarly engaged in Mexico for three years and spent 
several years in the states before coming to Hawaii.
  Born in Cleveland, O., June 18, 1869, Mr. Buttolph is the son of Levi and 
Jennie E. (Wright) Buttles. There is an interesting history to his family 
name. Originally Buttolph the name became corrupted to Buttles. Guy H. 
Buttloph and his brothers, descendants of Thomas Buttolph, a British settler 
in Boston in 1635, assumed the correct version of their ancestral name.
  The city of Boston, Mass., was indirectly named after Mr. Buttolph’s family, 
having adopted the name of Boston, Lincolnshire, England, which was originally 
called Botolph’s Town and later shortened to Boston. The old conservative club 
in Boston is the “St. Botolph’s.”
  Mr. Buttolph attended Kenyon Military Academy and was graduated from Kenyon 
College, Gambier, O., with the degree of B. A. in 1892, and received his M. A. 
degree three years later. He is a Mason, Knight Templar and past potentate of 
Aloha Temple of the Shrine, a member of the University Club and has been 
secretary of the Oahu Country Club for many years. He was a director of the 
Mid-Pacific Carnival, Honolulu, from 1917 to 1921, served on all Liberty Loan 
committees in Honolulu during the World War and was executive secretary and 
general manager for the entire Territory in the flotation of the Third Liberty 
Loan.
