JOHN LUNDIE FLEMING, Trust Company Official. Starting work in Hawaii as a 
plantation employee in 1894, when a youth of 18, John L. Fleming, vice-
president and director of the Pacific Trust Co., Ltd., in a constantly 
widening field of endeavor has been an active and creative factor in the 
business progress of the Territory for thirty years.
  After working for the Paia plantation, on Maui, in various capacities from 
1894 until 1899, Mr. Fleming entered the employ of Alexander & Baldwin, Ltd., 
in Honolulu, remaining with that firm until 1910.
  In the latter year Mr. Fleming became associated with the late James F. 
Morgan in his stock and bond brokerage and real estate business, and, 
following Mr. Morgan’s death in 1912, he formed the brokerage firm of James F. 
Morgan, Ltd., with Arthur H. Rice as a partner. The firm was reorganized and 
greatly enlarged in 1924, being incorporated as the Pacific Trust Co., Ltd., 
and adding several new departments of business.
  Mr. Fleming for some years has been prominent in the movement which has led 
to the investment of surplus Hawaiian capital in sugar and other plantation 
enterprises in the Philippines and elsewhere in the Far East. He is treasurer 
and director of the Hawaiian-Sumatra Plantation, Ltd., and a director of the 
Selama-Dindings Plantations, Ltd., all controlled in Hawaii. Mr. Fleming was 
president of the Honolulu Stock and Bond Exchange for two terms, 1916 and 1917.
  Born in Scotland, June 26, 1876, Mr. Fleming is the son of James Wilson and 
Effie (Lundie) Fleming. Coming to Hawaii at an early age, he was educated in 
the public schools of Honolulu and at Punahou College. During the period of 
political reorganization from 1893 to 1900, Mr. Fleming was a member of the 
Citizen’s Guard in 1897.
  He married M. Adele Morgan in Honolulu, Sept. 2, 1908. They have four 
children, Margaret Effie, James Morgan, William Lundie and Letitia Melville 
Morgan Fleming.
  Mr. Fleming is a charter member of the Oahu Country Club and a member of the 
Pacific and Kawainui clubs, Hawaiian Historical Society and the Honolulu Polo 
and Racing Association.
