Nellist ANGUS MCPHEE, Rancher. Bringing to Hawaii an echo of the “Wild West” days of Col. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, for whom he worked in Chicago as a “broncho buster” in 1893, Angus McPhee became a factor in the cattle raising industry of the islands. His first work in the islands was as manager of the Raymond ranch on Maui, a position he took on Jan. 1, 1908. Three years later he acquired ownership of the Kahakaloa ranch, West Maui, which he afterward sold to the Pauwela Pineapple Co. and returned to the Raymond ranch as manager. This property, now owned by Frank F. Baldwin and operated as the Ulupalakua Ranch Co., Ltd., is still managed by Mr. McPhee. Born in Cheyenne, Wyo., on a cattle ranch, Aug. 9, 1876, he is the son of Donald and Katherine (MacKechnie) McPhee. He received a grammar school education in Wyoming. After his service with Col. Cody he went to Alaska as a member of the government relief expedition, 1897-1898, served with the U. S. Quartermaster Department in the Philippines, 1898-1901, and returned to Alaska in 1901. The next year he went back to Wyoming and conducted a ranch until 1907, when he removed to Hawaii. Mr. McPhee married Catherine Denishman at Paia, Maui, March 12, 1918. He is a Mason.
