EDWARD JOSEPH DOUGHERTY, Automobile Manager. For many years an officer on 
ships on Alaskan and Oriental runs, a former adjuster for one of San 
Francisco’s largest firms, and a member of the United States customs service, 
Edward J. Dougherty, manager of the Star Auto Sales Co., has had a varied 
career. He was born in San Rafael, Calif., June 29, 1879, the son of Patrick 
F. and Anna (Martin) Dougherty. He is a nephew of Peter Donahue, pioneer 
railroad builder of California.
  When he was thirteen years old, Mr. Dougherty ran away from home and signed 
as a cabin boy on the barkentine “Irmgard,” sailing from San Francisco to 
Australia. He first visited Honolulu on that historic day in 1893 when Queen 
Liliuokalani was dethroned and the Hawaiian monarchy overthrown. Upon his 
return to San Francisco from his cruise he remained there to complete his 
education at St. Mary’s College, which had just been removed from San 
Francisco to Oakland.
  From 1900 to 1902 Mr. Dougherty was confidential clerk to the Surveyor of 
Customs in San Francisco, the late Joseph S. Spear. During a portion of 1903 
he was an inspector in the foreign immigration service at Juarez, Mexico, and 
then again returned to the sea as freight clerk on the “Indiana,” sailing from 
San Francisco to Nome, Alaska. He was in this service for three years and 
during 1906 and 1907 was on Oriental runs for the Toyo Kisen Kaisha and 
Pacific Mail lines. From 1908 to 1910 he was in the army transport service, 
holding various positions on the Buford, Mead, Hancock, Sheridan, Sherman and 
Thomas, all then in the government service between San Francisco and the 
Philippines.
  For the next three years he was an adjuster for the Emporium in San 
Francisco, and in 1914 he came to Honolulu and spent four years as a salesman 
with E. O. Hall & Son. In June, 1919, he joined the Pond Company, Ltd., and 
for almost two of his five years with that firm was sales manager. In 
December, 1924, he became manager of the Star Auto Sales Co. Mr. Doughtery 
married Sybil Robertson, daughter of the late George H. Robertson and 
granddaughter of George M. Robertson, noted jurist of Hawaii, in 1919. He is 
an Elk.
