corps of the United States army for 16 months at Schofield Barracks. When his

physician and surgeon for the Kilauea Sugar Co., and government physician for 
the District of Hanalei.

Schuyler and Emma Frances (Doran) Patterson. His primary education was 
received in the public schools of Iowa and he was graduated from the West Des 
Moines High School. Denver and Gross Medical College awarded him the degree, 
M.D., in 1909, and he served as an interne at St. Anthony’s Hospital, Denver, 
before coming to Hawaii. On Kauai he was made a member of the Board of Child 
Welfare. He is a member of the Kauai Masonic Lodge, a Shriner, member of the 
Honolulu Ad and Auto Clubs and the Kauai Motor Club and Chamber of Commerce.
