JOHN TROUP MOIR, JR., Plantation Manager. A career in Hawaii’s great sugar 
industry was the natural heritage of John T. Moir, Jr., manager of the Koloa 
Sugar Co., Koloa, Kauai, since November, 1922, for he was born and reared on a 
plantation and his father, J. T. Moir, Sr., has been manager of the Onomea 
Sugar Co., Hawaii, for almost thirty years.
  The younger Moir, son of John T. and Louisa (Silver) Moir, was born at 
Onomea on May 23, 1894. He was educated in the public schools and at Punahou 
Academy, Honolulu, and was graduated from Cornell University, where he majored 
in agriculture in preparation for his life work.
  Returning to Hawaii from college, Mr. Moir served as assistant agriculturist 
of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association experiment station from Aug., 
1916, until Nov., 1918; was overseer of the Kihei division of the Hawaiian 
Commercial & Sugar Co., at Puunene, Maui, from Nov., 1918, until May, 1922, 
and then spent six months as assistant manager of the Pioneer Mill Co. at 
Lahaina.
  Appointed manager of the Koloa Sugar Co. in Nov., 1922, Mr. Moir had reached 
this responsible position at the age of 28, six years after his entry into the 
industry.
  In addition to other business interest, Mr. Moir is a director of the Garden 
Island Motors Co., Ltd., of Lihue, Kauai, and is an active supporter of 
community development and welfare work.
  Mr. Moir married Gertrude Mae Fisher of Philadelphia, Pa., on June 24, 1916. 
They have two children, John T. Moir, 3rd, and Mildred Mar Moir. Mr. Moir is a 
member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and the Cornell Club of Hawaii.
