Nellist CHARLES W. LUCAS, Dairy Owner. Taking charge of a large portion of the Charles Lucas family’s ranch holdings at Niu, granted to ancestors of his mother by the reigning house of Hawaii early in the nineteenth century, Charles W. Lucas has established one of the most modern dairies in the Territory. Born on April 19, 1891, in the old Lucas home, formerly the site of the country home of King Kamehameha I and Queen Kaahumanu, who gave the property to Captain Alexander Adams, grandfather of Mrs. Charles Lucas, Charles W. Lucas was reared there, and gained much of his ranch training in his early youth upon the property he now manages. After completing his early education at Punahou, he went to the mainland and studied scientific farming at Davis Agricultural College, affiliated with the University of California. Returning to Honolulu he assumed direct charge of the Lucas dairy and, using the most modern methods, has developed one of the best equipped plants in the islands. In July, 1924, Mr. Lucas married Clorinda Low, daughter of Representative Eben Low. He has two children, Charles W. Lucas, Jr., and Patricia Lucas, by a previous marriage with Mona Hind, daughter of Senator Robert Hind. Mr. Lucas, a former member of the Hawaii Polo and Racing Club, is a devotee of outdoor sports.
