GEORGE LOWSON, Banker. For more than 15 years George Lowson has been 
instrumental in the development of the Island of Hawaii as one of the 
prominent bankers of that island, especially in his present connection with 
the Bank of Hawaii, Ltd., branch at Hilo.
  Born Feb. 16, 1887, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, he is the son of George and 
Helen (Boagg) Lowson. He received his education in the grammar schools and at 
Webster’s Seminary, Kirriemuir, and began his career as a law apprentice in 
his native town in 1902 and was employed in a law office in Edinburgh from 
1907 to 1910, when he came to Hawaii.
  Mr. Lowson’s first employment in the Territory was with the First Bank of 
Hilo, Ltd. Four years later he was made manager of the Kohala branch and in 
1915 was recalled to the head office in Hilo as assistant cashier, a position 
he retained when the First Bank of Hilo was merged with the Bank of Hawaii, 
Ltd., and he is now cashier of the Bank of Hawaii at Hilo.
  He was naturalized as an American citizen in 1915. He is a member of Hilo 
Lodge, No. 759, B.P.O. Elks, and served as exalted ruler in 1920, and is a 
member of Kilauea Lodge, No. 330, F. & A.M. He married Katherine Sadler of 
Hilo, June 7, 1923, and they have one child, Geo. Robt. Lowson.
