CHARLES LUCAS, Retired Capitalist. Coming to Hawaii when he was three years 
old, with his parents, the late George and Sarah (Williams) Lucas, Charles 
Lucas attended the public schools of Honolulu in his boyhood and then joined 
his father in an extensive contracting business.
  For years father and son were associated, and during that period erected the 
Palace, now the Capitol, the Moana Hotel, Pantheon Building, and many other 
large business buildings and private residence. Mr. Lucas’ father died in 1892 
and he and his brother, John Lucas, were in business together with the 
Honolulu Planing Mill until Charles Lucas retired some years ago.
  In recent years Mr. Lucas has been engaged in farming upon his property in 
the Niu district between Diamond Head and Koko Head and in managing the 
extensive holdings that were granted to the grandfather of Mrs. Charles Lucas, 
Captain Alexander Adams, by Kamehameha I more than a century ago. A small 
dairy is situated upon a portion of the property which Mr. Lucas now operates, 
and a fine modern dairy located a mile away from the elder Lucas’ home, is 
conducted by a son, Charles W. Lucas.
  In 1885 Charles Lucas married Mary Bannister, and their children are Charles 
W. Lucas, Mrs. Benjamin Cassiday of Belleville, Ill., and Mrs. Wolfgang 
Pflueger of Honolulu. Mr. Lucas is an Odd Fellow, Knight of Pythias, and a 
member of the Oahu Country Club.
