LEWIS THORNTON LYMAN, Agriculturist. L. Thornton Lyman, agriculturist for 
Libby, McNeill & Libby, pineapple growers and canners, has been engaged in 
work of that nature since his graduation from the University of Illinois in 
1915 with a B. S. degree, with the exception of a period of World War service.
  Returning to the islands from college, he was with the Hawaiian Sugar 
Planters’ Association in Honolulu until 1917, when he entered the first 
officers’ training camp at Schofield Barracks, was commissioned a first 
lieutenant in the 2nd U.S. Infantry and served with that unit at Camp Fremont, 
Calif., and Camp Dodge, Iowa.
  Upon his release from military service in 1919, he returned to Hawaii and 
worked as an agriculturist for the Sugar Planters’ Association on Maui. From 
Sept., 1919, until Dec., 1921, he was a section overseer with the Pioneer Mill 
Co. and in Dec., 1921, he was a section overseer with the agricultural work of 
the colony established there by the Hawaiian Homes Commission. In July, 1924, 
he assumed his present position with Libby, McNeill & Libby, and is engaged in 
agricultural research work, both in the field and in the laboratory.
  Born in Hilo, Hawaii, on Sept. 20, 1892, he is the son of Rufus A. and 
Rebecca (Brickwood) Lyman. His father was an attorney and sugar planter, and 
for a number of years was circuit judge for the county of Hawaii. Mr. Lyman 
attended the Hilo public schools and University of California, before going to 
the University of Illinois. He is a member of the Sigma Xi fraternity and the 
University Club.
