WILLIAM BARKER LYMER, Attorney General of Hawaii. The selection of William B. 
Lymer to be attorney general of the Territory of Hawaii, to which office he 
was appointed on March 26, 1925, by Governor W. R. Farrington with the 
unanimous approval of the Territorial senate, marked the beginning of another 
period of public service by a lawyer whose professional career in Hawaii dates 
back to 1909.
  Previous to his acceptance of his present responsible office, Mr. Lymer had 
been engaged in private practice since 1915, in recent years in association 
with Judge E. M. Watson, former associated justice of the Supreme Court of 
Hawaii, with whom he formed the partnership of Watson & Lyman in Oct., 1922.
  Mr. Lymer’s public service began in 1910, when he was appointed deputy 
attorney general of the Territory, later serving as district magistrate in 
Honolulu, as special attorney to the Board of Health during the yellow fever 
scare and as assistant county attorney, Honolulu, from April, 1915, to August, 
1915. More recently Mr. Lymer has been engaged in the litigation between Helen 
L. Isenberg and others against the Trent Trust Co., Ltd., in the Hackfeld and 
American Factors lawsuit, and other important cases.
  Mr. Lymer holds memberships in the American Bar Association, University 
Club, Harvard Club of Hawaii, Hawaiian Historical Society, Aero Club of Hawaii 
and is a student of the Napoleonic Era and an authority on that period. Born 
Aug. 22, 1882, in Clarinda, Page county, Iowa, the son of Richard Henry and 
Sarah (Bagnall) Lymer, Mr. Lymer was educated at Amity College, Iowa, and 
received his LL.B. degree from Harvard University Law School in 1907. For one 
year he was a practicing attorney in Colorado, coming to Honolulu in 1909 and 
practicing first with the law firm of Kinney, Ballou, Prosser & Anderson. In 
1913 he married Miss California Lucas in Honolulu.
