Persuaded to visit Hawaii a quarter of a century ago by his uncle, the late Paul Isenberg, who was a noble in the days of the monarchy and a leading figure in the sugar industry on the island of Kauai and throughout the Territory, Hermann Rohrig has since remained in the islands. He is now manager of the Albers Bros. Milling Co. in Honolulu. Born on Oct. 29, 1879, at Linden, Hanover, the son of Wilhelm and Anna Rohrig, he was graduated from the college of Linden. He arrived in Honolulu on June 26, 1901, and accepted the position of timekeeper at Lihue plantation, Kauai, remaining there for two years. He then went to Hilo as bookkeeper for the Hawaii Mill Co., but returned to Kauai in 1905 as bookkeeper for the Koloa Sugar Co. Two years later he was appointed manager of the Lihue store, Kauai, where he remained until 1919, when he resigned to become Honolulu manager for Albers Bros. Milling Co. He married Johanna K. Sohlman on July 30, 1907, and they have one child, Leilani Rohrig.
