WILLIAM F. CROCKETT, Attorney and Legislator. A varied career preceded the 
arrival of William F. Crockett in Hawaii in 1901 and his later engagement in 
the practice of law, for which he had prepared himself on the mainland.
  Born at Wytheville, Va., July 12, 1860, he is the son of Samuel and Lydia 
(Brown) Crockett. He was educated in the public schools of Wytheville; 
Centenary Biblical Institute, Baltimore, Md., and the University of Michigan 
Law School, which granted him the degree of LL.B., in 1888.
  He practiced at Montgomery, Ala., 1888-1899, meanwhile serving as a lecturer 
on commercial law for Booker T. Washington, the great negro educator, in 1889. 
He was state agent for the Southern Cotton States Exposition at Atlanta, Ga., 
in 1895, and was an assistant in the passenger department of the Southern 
Pacific Co. for Alabama in 1900. He came to Hawaii in January, 1901, and was 
employed by the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co., 1901-1903, when he engaged 
again in the practice of law on Maui.
  Mr. Crockett has held many public offices, serving for a decade on the Board 
of Registration, as District Magistrate of Wailuku, as Deputy County Attorney 
and as a member of the territorial House of Representatives for the 1915 
session. He married Annie V. Ryder at Washington D. C., Dec. 24, 1890. They 
have two children, Wendell Francis and Grace Crockett.
