STEPHEN LANGHERN DESHA, JR., Attorney. Service as a clerk in the district 
court for South Hilo, Hawaii, inclined Stephen L. Desha, Jr., toward the law 
and after four years of legal education on the mainland he returned home to 
establish a place in the legal profession.
  Born to the Rev. Stephen L., Sr., and Mary Kaakpoua (Kekumano) Desha, at 
Napoopoo, Hawaii, Nov. 26, 1885, he received his preliminary education in the 
Kamehameha Schools and Oahu College, Honolulu. He was a teacher in the public 
schools from 1906 to 1910, when he was appointed clerk of the district court 
for South Hilo and served until 1913, when he left to attend George Washington 
University, Washington, D.C., from which he was graduated in 1917 with the 
degree of B.L. Returning to Hawaii he entered practice in association with his 
brother, Judge John R. Desha, under the firm name of Desha and Desha, until 
the latter was appointed circuit judge of the domestic relations, and juvenile 
court of Honolulu. Mr. Desha has been district magistrate of South Hilo for 
the last three years. He is worshipful master of Kilauea Lodge No. 330 F. & 
A.M.; president, Council No. 5, Native Sons and Daughters of Hawaii, and a 
member of the Hilo Chamber of Commerce, and is U.S. Commissioner.
