ROXOR DAMON, Banker. Entering the Bank of Hawaii, Ltd., shortly after its 
organization in 1898, as a clerk, Roxor Damon during the intervening years of 
that institution’s development has advanced to the position of vice president 
and director.
  First employed in the Honolulu post office, in 1894, Mr. Damon left the 
government service to go with the then new bank. He was made secretary and 
assistant cashier of the Bank of Hawaii in 1905, cashier in 1909 and vice 
president in 1921, also being elected to the directorate. He is a director of 
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, a Mason, Shriner and a member of the Oahu 
Country and Commercial clubs.
  Born in Honolulu, April 21, 1878, the son of Edward Chenery and Cornelia 
(Beckwith) Damon, Mr. Damon is a direct descendant of John Damon who emigrated 
from Kent, England, to Scituate, Mass., in 1629, and of John Mosley of 
Lancashire, England, an early settler in Dorchester, Mass. He is also a 
grandson of Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon, noted missionary, who was chaplain of 
the Seamen’s Chapel, Honolulu, from 1841 to 1882, and editor of “The Friend” 
from 1843 to 1882.
  Mr. Damon’s early education was received at Oahu College. In 1908 he married 
Julia Dwight Lawrence of Sheboygan, Wis., and they have two children, Wayne 
and Kathrah Damon.
