ALBION FISHER CLARK, Realtor. A director of the Honolulu Ad Club and a civic 
leader, active in all public improvement work, Albion F. Clark has long been 
prominent in the community life of Honolulu. He is a founder of the Kaimuki 
Improvement Club, organized in 1905, and is still a director of that 
association. Mr. Clark was appointed a member of the board of supervisors on 
June 30, 1925.
  For some years he was fence commissioner for Honolulu and a member of the 
Board of Animal Inspectors. He began work in 1888 as a wood-worker and 
blacksmith’s helper for W. W. Wright. In 1890 he became timekeeper and 
assistant bookkeeper for Hustace & Robertson, general contractors, and was 
later successively promoted to the positions of foreman, treasurer, manager 
and director of the firm under its various corporate names until 1919, when he 
established his real estate business.
  Mr. Clark took part in the Hawaiian Revolution of 1893 and 1895 as a member 
of the Honolulu Rifles and National Guard of Hawaii. In the late 80’s he was 
prominent in local athletics, particularly in baseball, football, cricket and 
running. He won the free-for-all mile race at Kapiolani Park, competing 
against the fastest runners in the islands, was among the original founders of 
the Myrtle Boat Club and for many years was an active official in that 
organization. He is a Mason, Odd Fellow and a member of the Chamber of 
Commerce.
  Born in Honolulu, July 9, 1872, he is the son of William and Helen (Burnam) 
Clark. His education was obtained at Iolani College, from which he was 
graduated in 1888. In 1898 he married Ellen Roberta Osmond of Honolulu, and 
they have two children, Frances Aloha Clark, district nurse for the Board of 
Health, and Helen Roberta Clark, a student at Punahou.
