Nellist FRANK HALSTEAD, Retired Sugar Planter. Arriving in Hawaii with his parents in 1865, when he was but eleven months old, Frank Halstead has had a long and constructive career in the islands and was a prominent figure in the tremendous development of the sugar industry which occurred during the latter part of the last century. Entering business with his father, the late Robert Halstead, on the latter’s sugar plantation at Waialua, in 1888, Mr. Halstead and his brother, Edgar, later took over the entire management of the property, which in 1898 was purchased by the Waialua Agricultural Co., Ltd. Leaving Honolulu temporarily after disposing of the Waialua plantation, Mr. Halstead spent two years traveling in Europe and when he returned in 1900 entered the brokerage business with Willard Brown, establishing the firm of Halstead & Co. In 1904, Mr. Halstead retired from active business life, selling his interest in the brokerage firm to W. A. Love. Born at Manchester, England, April 22, 1864, Mr. Halstead is the son of Frank and Sarah Ellen Halstead. He received his early education in Honolulu schools, and completed his education at Heald’s Business College in San Francisco in 1884. Mr. Halstead and Mary Elizabeth Cocks were married in England, Nov. 17, 1892. They have four children, Mrs. William Bibee, Gladys, Gordon and Cecil Halstead. Mr. Halstead is a Mason and a member of the Pacific and Oahu Country Clubs.
