BRUCE CARTWRIGHT, JR. Trusts and Insurance. Bruce Cartwright, Jr., is the 
third of the Cartwright line to direct the business established in Honolulu by 
his grandfather, Alexander Joy Cartwright, and carried on for a period of 
years by his father, Bruce Cartwright, Sr.
  Beginning his business career as a clerk in the Henry Waterhouse Trust Co., 
Ltd., the younger Cartwright later joined the estate and insurance concern of 
his father. In 1922 the firm incorporated and became Cartwright & Co., Ltd., 
specializing on general insurance with side lines as trustee and agent. 
  Bruce Cartwright, Jr., has found time for stamp collecting, fishing and big 
game hunting in India. Upon philatelic subjects he is an authority, having 
written several papers dealing with stamps and with volcanology, in which he 
is also keenly interested.
  He saw active service during the World War as a captain in the Motor 
Transport Corps, and in the fall and winter of 1918 was chief of the overseas 
liaison division, Motor Transport Corps, in Washington, D.C. At the close of 
the war he was commissioned major in the Officers’ Reserve Corps and on 
September 11, 1921, was made lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve.
  The site of the Alexander Young Hotel was a residence district in 1882, and 
there stood the house in which Mr. Cartwright was born on January 22 of that 
year. His mother was Mary Louise (Wells) Cartwright, an Oakland girl, who came 
to Honolulu as a bride.
  The younger Cartwright’s education was received at Punahou Academy, Mount 
Tamalpais Military Academy, Belmont Military Academy, Phillips Andover Academy 
and the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale, where he was graduated with the 
degree of Ph.B. in 1905.
  He married Claire Williams of Honolulu in 1911. They had two children, 
William Edward and Coleman. Mrs. Cartwright died in 1919 and he later married 
Mrs. Alyce Steele Moore of Virginia, a widow with a little, daughter, Virginia 
Moore Cartwright.
  Mr. Cartwright is a trustee of the Queen Emma Estate and other large 
estates, and represents many insurance companies in Hawaii. He is president of 
the Hawaiian Historical Society, president of Cartwright & Co., Ltd., member 
of Chiefs of Hawaii, a Mason, member of the Chamber of Commerce, Oahu County 
Club, Military Order of the World War, American Philatelic Society, Junior
