WILLIAM FOSTER HORNER, Banker. W. F. Horner was graduated from Stanford 
University in 1917, after preliminary education at St. Matthew’s Military 
Academy, and entered the first officers’ training camp at the Presidio, San 
Francisco, immediately upon his graduation. He was commissioned as second 
lieutenant in August, 1917, and was assigned to Camp Lewis, Wash., with B Co., 
347th Machine Gun Battalion. He went overseas with the 91st Division in June, 
1918, and was chosen as aide-de-camp by Gen. J. B. McDonald in September of 
that year. His promotion to first lieutenant came in November, 1918, and he 
was honorably discharged in June, 1919. He participated in the battle of the 
Argonne from Sept. 25 to Oct. 4, 1918, and was at the front in the Lys-Schelt 
sector from October 29 until the armistice was signed on Nov. 11, 1918.
  On his return from the war, Mr. Horner became associated with the Bank of 
Hawaii, Ltd., in its Lihue, Kauai branch. One year later he was promoted to 
assistant cashier at the Kapaa branch of the same institution and soon 
thereafter was selected manager of the bank, a position he has held since. 
Born at Kukaiau, Hawaii, on Oct. 23, 1895, he is the son of Albert and 
Florence (Winter) Horner. He is a member of the Kauai Chamber of Commerce, the 
American Legion, and Sigma Chi, the national collegiate fraternity. He married 
Florence Paine, Sept. 14, 1920. A daughter, Barbara Horner, was born Dec. 27, 
1921.
