CHESTER G. LIVINGSTON, Realtor. By profession an educator, Chester G. 
Livingston, after devoting eleven years to teaching in Honolulu, transferred 
his interests to the field of business enterprise. He is associated with his 
brother, Stanley Livingston, in the Livingston Brothers Realty Co., a leading 
Honolulu real estate firm. He has figured in important land transactions and 
has devoted considerable time to homestead projects, developing lands at 
Haiku, Maui.
  Mr. Livingston came to Honolulu in 1906 to join the faculty of the 
Kamehameha Schools, where he taught music, mathematics, mechanical drawing and 
other subjects. At the time of his resignation he was head of the mechanical 
drawing department. He assisted in the organization of the Kamehameha School 
Church and was director of music there. He has been a member of the choir at 
Central Union Church and has otherwise been active in church work.
  He points with justifiable pride to the fact that under his direction were 
formed the characters of such representative Hawaiians as Tandy McKenzie, 
world famous tenor; Duke Kahanamoku, noted swimmer, and others who have 
attained distinction in many spheres of activity.
  In 1917 Mr. Livingston entered the Honolulu Iron Works’ engineering 
department, where he was engaged until February, 1922, when he joined his 
brother in business.
  Born in Darke County, O., April 28, 1880, Mr. Livingston is the son of 
Samuel Lynch and Candace (Gilbert) Livingston. He was educated in the public 
schools of Ohio and at Oberlin College, where he received a B.A. degree in 
1904. He spent one year at Columbia University, New York.
  He married Katherine Hopper, July 1, 1909, in Honolulu. They were the 
parents of four children, William Hopper, Jean Elizabeth, Chester Gordon, and 
Lewers Livingston. Mrs. Livingston died on September 29, 1924.
  Mr. Livingston is a member of the Pan-Pacific Union, the Ad Club and 
Kamehameha Chapel in Honolulu.
