Pinet & Co., shipping and commission merchants, San Francisco, 1901. He was vice- president and general manager of the Moore-Doty Co., Tahiti, 1903; president of the Berlin Realty Co., Los Angeles, Cal., 1909; and president of the Mojave River Land and Water Co., 1912.

He was curate, St. Paul’s cathedral, 1913; rector Trinity church, Los Angeles, 1914-1918, and was assigned in the latter year to his present charge at the Church of the Holy Apostles at Hilo. Mr. Doty has been chairman of the board of child welfare for the county of Hawaii since 1921 and served with the United States army intelligence service during the World War.
