GEORGE CHALMERS, JR. Plantation Manager. Familiar with plantation life in 
Hawaii since his earliest childhood, having been born on a sugar estate, 
George Chalmers, Jr., manager of Waimanalo plantation, has closely followed 
the career of his father, for many years a prominent figure in the sugar 
industry and who, when he retired in 1919, relinquished the position now held 
by his son. George Chalmers, Sr., was manager at Waimanalo for more than 
twenty-five years.
  Born at Wainako, Hawaii, on Aug. 9, 1886, the son of George and the late 
Mary Ann (Duncan) Chalmers, Mr. Chalmers received his early education in the 
schools of Waimanalo plantation and at Peralta Hall, Berkeley, and the 
Berkeley High School.
  Returning to Hawaii in 1906, he went to work at Kohala, Hawaii, as a 
plantation timekeeper, continuing, there until 1910, when he joined Waimanalo 
plantation, then under his father’s management, as head overseer, a position 
he retained until 1919, when he was appointed manager upon the retirement of 
the elder Chalmers.
  Mr. Chalmers married Edith Miller in Honolulu on April 15, 1913. They have 
two children, Herbert Duncan and Roy Miller Chalmers.
  Mr. Chalmers is a Mason and a Shriner, belonging to Aloha Temple; an Elk, 
Native Son of Hawaii, and a member of the Commercial Club.
