J. POPE HOWATT, Lumberman. A resident of Hawaii since 1896, J. Pope Howatt, of 
Lewers & Cooke, Ltd., has long been identified with the lumber business of the 
islands. Following his arrival here he was interested in coffee planting at 
Olaa, Hawaii, until 1899. For a short time he was a customs inspector at 
Honolulu, resigning to enter the employ of Lewers & Cooke, where he remained 
for three years. In 1903 he became associated with Wilder & Co., lumber 
merchants, and was yard superintendent until that firm was absorbed by Lewers 
& Cooke. He retained his position after the consolidation and in 1916 was 
transferred to the office staff.
  Born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, Oct. 5, 1865, Mr. Howatt is the son of 
Cornelius and Jane (Bell) Howatt. His boyhood was spent on his father’s farm 
in Canada, and upon completing his schooling he engaged in farming until he 
was twenty-one. Going to California in 1886 he received his first experience 
in the lumber industry at Eureka, Calif., where he was located for eleven 
years, before leaving for the islands.
  Mr. Howatt and Emily Wall were married at Eureka in June, 1892. They have 
one daughter, Mrs. Theodore Cooke (Muriel Howatt). Mr. Howatt is a Mason, 
Shriner and a member of the Commercial Club. He is a Republican in politics.
